Law on Rescinding Parliamentary Privledges

The Law on Rescinding Parliamentary Privledges was a law of the Imperial Republic, inherited from the local laws on the planet Galactic Primus under the rule of House Corrino and the Landsraad regarding removing Landsraad members convicted of serious crimes.

If a member of the Imperial Parliament was convicted of a serious crime, a vote of both the Council of Twelve and the Regular Council was required in order to deprive an individual of his or her parliamentary seat either temporarily or permanently. In the case of any noble in Parliament who was permanently deprived of his or her hereditary seat, his or her heir would automatically receive parliamentary membership.

A private or public group or entity like a corporation, local government, or other entity convicted of a serious crime could by vote of both the Council of Twelve and the Regular Council be denied temporarily or permanently the right to appoint non-hereditary members to Parliament.
