Lex Cornelia Octavia de assiduis et capite censis (Nova Roma)

Preamble.

The purpose of this amendment will be to revise section III. C of the Senatus Consultum on taxation and add an amendment to the Lex Vedia de Assidui et Capiti Censi, by placing all newly approved citizens in the classification of Capiti Censi.

This Lex has two key aims.

1. To modify the current status by placing all newly approved citizens in the classification of Capiti Censi.

2. To give new citizens the option to be reclassified as Assidui by paying the current year's tax in full.

I. All persons obtaining citizenship after this lex takes effect will have Capiti Censi status until and unless payment is made.

II. Any citizen of the Capiti Censi may become Assidui by paying the appropriate amount, as defined by Senatus Consultum. If payment is made during a contio or election, the change in status will take place after the election concludes.

III. Upon receipt of tax payment in full, the applicant is considered to assume the rights and privileges of Assidui as defined by the Lex Vedia de Assidui et Capiti Censi and the applicant will be allocated to a rural tribe and appropriate century allocation.
