This bill regulates Chancellor and Vice Chancellor duties, salaries, benefits, funds, properties, concurrent mandates, Parliament salary, veto overrides, referendums, official document standards, Interlink protections, court interpretation, public finance, grants, misuse of public funds, donation limits, and constitutional amendment procedures. It both creates special office benefits and expands direct-democratic tools and accountability rules.

A governance reform bill that is participatory-democratic and accountability-oriented while also centralizing finance and codifying office privileges.

  9. Creates grant administration, cost breakdown, review, recovery, and applicant-favorability rules.
  10. Creates misuse-of-public-funds offense and penalties.
