The legislative process

This is the process of which new laws and changes to the law occur in Syana. The process has four stages, each of which are designed to make sure all Syan law is fair, just and equal.


1: a lalaana di-bil

(the statement)

Any member of the Baa Di-jamasaa can suggest a new law or the reform of an existing law. If this suggestion is approved by one of the Gon O’janaa then a vote will be held by all the O’dia Di-o’akaado on whether the legislation should continue further along the process.


2: ni-a di-o'galo

(questioning of factions)

The Baa Di-jamasaa consult the faction(s) who are relevant to the law being proposed/changed. The factions are then able to pass insight on the issue at hand or (if the change to the law is deemed unfit) the relevant Jaar Di-galo can veto the decision and end the process at this stage, however they will have to apply for permission from the Jaar or the Jaar Isala to make this decision.


3: o'lalaana ba a baa di-syana

(vote in the council of syana)

The Dia Di-o’akaado who proposed the legislation presents it to the Baa Di-syana. The chancellors all vote for whether the law will continue along the process. If the vote is positive then the Jaar Isala stamps the law with their approval. The Baa Di-syana are also able to make any changes they want to the law, however these changes must be approved by the Gon O’janaa.


4: di-'maano di-jaar

(decision of the jaar)

The legislation is passed along to the Jaar and they can either approve the law or send it back to the Baa Di-syana for it to be further re-worked. If the law is “exceptionally against the good of Syana”, the Jaar is able to cancel the creation of the law entirely. Furthermore, the Jaar is also able to create their own legislation and, if the Jaar Isala approves this action, it becomes law (however this is only used in emergency situations and matters of high importance).
