Section I-600
Statutory law will be the continuing body of law in the Kingdom. The Crown will have power to change, repeal or add statute only after consultation with the Stallari Council, provided that the change, repeal or addition does not conflict with any superior laws as established by the Order of Precedence of Law in the Governing Documents.
Section I-700
Should the majority of the quorum of the Stallari Council believe a change to statutory law to be substantive, the Crown must publish the proposed law change in the Northwatch and allow one month from publication for comment before proceeding. When necessary to comply with a Society directive, the period for comment may be shortened, postponed, or cancelled.

No member of the Royalty may apply for or hold another Kingdom-level, Society, or Corporate office during their reign.

Section V-700
No Great Officer or any warranted deputies may produce any official publications without approval of the Crown and approval by the Stallari Council. Content of any official handbook is subject to editing by the appropriate Great Officer and the Crown before publication, but any changes made after the Crown’s and Stallari Council approval require approval of the changes by Crown and Stallari Council. All profits resulting from such publications must be remitted to the Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer.
