STAY CRAZY, COW HAMPSHIRE

Apparently, some legislators in NH are bored, or at least craving the yoke of monarchic rule.

Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted LJ readers, I present New Hampshire bill HB1580:

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twelve

AN ACT requiring a reference to the Magna Carta on certain legislation.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 New Section; Magna Carta References. Amend RSA 14 by inserting after section 39-a the following new section:

14:39-b Magna Carta Reference. All members of the general court proposing bills and resolutions addressing individual rights or liberties shall include a direct quote from the Magna Carta which sets forth the article from which the individual right or liberty is derived.

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect November 1, 2012.

Does it have to be quoted in Latin?
