An act to amend the Nobility and Honours Act, 2018.

I. On Gendered Language
(1) In recognition of the broad spectrum of gender identity, diverse use of pronouns and the regional goal of creating a vibrant, tolerant community, the Council determines to accommodate recipients of peerages and regional awards established by past legislation who do not conform to the gendered language currently therein.
(2) Thus, all instances of the phrase “his/her” or “her/his” will be struck and replaced with “his/her/their”.
(3) The Pharaoh’s formal style of address shall be amended to read “His/her/their Royal Majesty, [their name], Scion of Osiris” and “Your Royal Majesty, Scion of Osiris” in direct address.
(4) All titles bearing the formal style of address “Lord/Lady” will be amended to include “Liege” as a third option.
 (5) All titles bearing the formal style of address “Master/Madam” will be amended to include “Sera” as a third option.
(6) Those individuals awarded the Key to the City shall be afforded the title of Bey, replacing “Lord/Lady” of that city.
(7) The recipient of an honour or royal title is reserved the right to amend their own pronouns and style.
 i. Personal amendments to one’s pronouns and style must be made in good faith, not exceeding the recipient’s standing in the hierarchy of titles, and must not infringe the Pharaoh’s honour.

 II. On The Addition Of New Articles
The Nobility and Honours Act will be amended to include two new articles, and read thus:

—
V. On Record-Keeping

(1) The Chief Scribe will be entrusted the duty of maintaining a registry of all currently held royal titles and regional honours.
(2) The Chief Scribe is reserved the right to entrust the upkeep of the registry to a chosen deputy.
(3) The registry will be made publicly visible in the Temple of Bes.

VI. Miscellany
(1) The Council of Scribes may pass non-binding resolutions recommending the award of a royal title, or the creation of a new royal title.
(2) No person may be awarded a title or honour without their consent; any attempt on the part of the Council or Pharaoh to force one on an unwilling recipient is illegal.
