Assembly uniform Garment act of 5020

The is the act that first came into effect in 5020 and subsequently amended five times most recently in 5050 that made the use of Assembly Robes official and mandatory.

History
The rise of the famous Three Wise men of the Assembly around 5017 and their habit to dress alike in Narth like robes starting the following year gave rise to an Assembly movement where other Assembly Representatives begun to adopt the same habit to look more regal and more distinctive.

It evolved into the at first unofficial Representative Robes. These initial unofficial robes were simple garments that only had a superficial appearance similar to those worn by the Narth.

As a result of their popularity it was decided to make the robes official which was accomplished with an Assembly Vote in 5020. Even Camogi, Bellebees and similar Union members (represented via Avatars only) would wear a simulated robe like garments adapted to their shape.

Purpose
The purpose of the Assembly Robes is twofold. First, it is meant as a symbolic unification of the Assembly as a body of one. That the design somewhat resembles a Narth robe is of course no accident.

The second purpose is to assure the representative is indeed free of foreign psionic influences due to the Anti PSI tech they contain which is the most sophisticated known to Union Science.

The robes are marvels of molecular level technology and contain registered ID imprints linked to the wearers CITI. The robe in concert with the CITI allows access to the Assembly Sphere and makes voting possible. As of 5050 only a Robe wearing Assembly member may vote.

As of the most recent amendment, with one exception only current Assembly Representatives may wear or own an official Assembly Robe. At the end of an individual's tenure as Representative, they have 10 standard days to get their robes updated to reflect their Emeritus status.

When an individual is speaking or voting as an Union Citizen instead of a Representative they symbolically remove the robe while performing that activity.
