This bill amends firearm possession laws to exempt Mayflower National Guardsmen from penalties for unlicensed firearm possession when carrying a pistol issued by the Guard, as long as it’s permitted under their department’s policies. It clarifies that Guardsmen may legally possess their issued sidearm even when off duty, provided departmental authorization exists.

S.B. 421 revises the definition of the “gubernatorial line of succession” to include only those public officers constitutionally allowed to assume the Governor’s duties if the Governor becomes incapacitated. It repeals all previous subsections and related provisions under 3 M.S.C. 1 § 1103, effectively streamlining and simplifying the state’s succession law.

S.B. 422, the Remember Your Oath Act, reorganizes state government responsibilities by making 3 M.S.C. 1 § 3206(b) inactive and redefining the State Department’s role as the chief clerk of state.

It also designates the Secretary of State as the state’s chief diplomat, responsible for handling foreign affairs and communications on behalf of the Governor.

S.B. 423 establishes the Office of Legal Counsel within the State Legislature to provide independent legal representation and advice to the Senate. The office, led by an appointed Senate Legal Counsel and Deputy Counsel, will defend the Senate, its members, and committees in official legal matters, including enforcing subpoenas and upholding legislative privileges and constitutional powers. Appointments are made without regard to political affiliation and require legal qualifications. The office may not handle personal lawsuits but will act to protect the Legislature’s authority, constitutional duties, and legal proceedings when directed by Senate resolution.

S.B. 424 authorizes the Mayflower National Guard to establish and designate units as Military Law Enforcement, granting them the same powers and privileges as Military Police.

It defines key legal terms and establishes detailed procedures to ensure due process, transparency, and judicial independence in administrative disputes. The Division can issue injunctions, compel agency action, overturn unlawful decisions, and impose sanctions for bad faith or noncompliance. It also outlines clear appeal rights to the Supreme Court, strict compliance enforcement mechanisms for government entities, and protections for whistleblowers. Finally, the bill adds a Judicial Transparency Clause, mandating that all judicial disciplinary proceedings be public, recorded, and monitored by a newly empowered Marshal of the Supreme Court to guarantee fairness and accountability.

It mandates that no court may impose or sign a death sentence without a unanimous recommendation from a six-member jury after considering all mitigating and aggravating factors. The bill sets detailed procedures for jury selection, ensuring jurors are randomly chosen, qualified residents, and screened for impartiality regarding the death penalty.

The bill amends state law to classify such disclosures as a felony under “Unauthorized Distribution of Classified Information.”

S.B. 431 (Track My Orders Act) requires the Attorney General to maintain a public database of all memorandums, directives, and orders issued by them or the Justice Department. The database must include the author, title, subject, legal authority, and issue date of each document, except those containing state secrets or privileged information.

S.B. 435 updates the FOIA framework in Mayflower by clarifying definitions for “State Agency” and “FOIA requester,” allowing agencies to deny overly broad requests, and requiring redaction—not deletion—of classified or exempt information. It establishes clear procedures for partial disclosures, exemptions, and provides a 24-hour court petition process for noncompliance, while allowing requesters to challenge improper exemptions.

Additionally, terrorist or state-sponsored terrorist designations now last no more than 14 days and must be reviewed before renewal.

It makes it a felony to deprive anyone, including elected officials, of their personal liberty and transport them across state or federal borders, with penalties of 50 minutes for general trafficking and 100 minutes for elected officials. Crimes committed during such trafficking, including grievous bodily harm or death, are treated as if committed within Mayflower.

S.B. 451 establishes lobbying regulations in the Mayflower State Code, requiring Senators to document all contributions and expenditures, particularly those of $10,000 or more. Lobbyists must register with the Secretary of the Senate before attempting to influence legislation and submit quarterly reports detailing funds received, spent, and related activities. Journalists, public officials, and individuals merely appearing before committees are exempt from these reporting requirements. Violations of the chapter can result in prosecution under 1 M.S.C. § 1103 and other applicable laws.

S.B. 452 amends 4 M.S.C. 5 § 5207 to prohibit State Agencies and officials from requiring waivers or nondisclosure agreements that restrict whistleblower protections.

S.B. 454 sets specific staffing limits for law enforcement agencies across Mayflower, capping municipal, county, state, and port police forces at defined numbers. The City of Lander and other municipalities hosting the Senate are limited to 150 municipal employees, while other municipalities may employ up to 145. County agencies are capped at 175, the State Police at 180, and the Port Authority and Quanahassit Police at 75 employees. This amendment standardizes personnel limits to regulate law enforcement staffing statewide.

The OFI is responsible for enforcing DMV laws, regulations, and permits, with Motor Vehicle Investigators (MVIs) empowered to conduct inspections, issue citations, and temporarily detain individuals when necessary. MVIs remain civilian personnel without general peace officer authority, though assigned sworn officers retain full law enforcement powers while also exercising OFI-specific authority. The act also limits the OFI to ten MVIs, establishes Special Equipment Inspections, and ensures administrative support from the Mayflower Transportation Police without granting operational control.

Extends county protections to the County Executive, the District Attorney, and County Sheriff.

The resolution explicitly prevents these senators from being expelled from office for the period of their absence.

S.R. 129 is a Senate resolution formally requesting the opinion of the Supreme Court of the State of Mayflower regarding the interpretation of the Constitution’s attendance requirement for senators.

This inquiry is made under the authority granted by Article X, Section 9 of the state Constitution.

S.B. 417 establishes regulations for bridge fishing in the State of Mayflower by defining a new “bridge fishing license” and specifying its use. It requires anyone fishing on or near a bridge to hold either a regular fishing license, a bridge fishing license, or be employed by a business with a commercial fishing license. Conservation officers are granted authority to verify licenses and, with reasonable grounds, conduct limited searches of individuals and their vehicles when observing fishing activity. Violating the bridge fishing license requirement constitutes an infraction under the Mayflower State Code.

S.R. 108 proposes an amendment to Article I, Section 5 of the Mayflower State Constitution to guarantee that any individual facing the death penalty has the right to a trial by an impartial jury.

This ensures that capital cases are adjudicated with the protections of a fair and unbiased jury process.
