H.R. 7 | Parole Re-Classification Act

- This bill was again put forward by The Delegate for The San Andreas State Government, and has the purpose of ensuring order during a congressional meeting while also giving the Law Review Committee the power of subpoenas and adjusting the charge of Perjury to also include lying to The Law Review Committee.
