February 2026 State of the Assembly Report
I am pleased to submit for your review and consideration the February 2026 State of the Assembly Report to account for the business of the Assembly during the preceding month, inform of any key developments and goals by the Chair, and present the results of the monthly compliance review for all incumbent legislators.
The Assembly has remained relatively quiet in the preceding month but did consider the election of the Chair, for which I am grateful to have been elected for a second term. In the coming weeks I hope to take some time to bring some administrative matters to the Assembly, including a review of the way in which we onboard legislators, how we conduct legislative business, and how we interact with the Cabinet in terms of accountability.
I finally take this opportunity to hope all legislators who were affected by recent weather events remain safe and that the year has started, despite everything, on a high note for all.
The Assembly currently has no ongoing discussion of a public nature.
The Assembly held the following votes:
| Vote ID | Title | Result |

Initiative to Improve Onboarding
The Chair will endeavour to improve the legislator application and onboarding process and will further seek to obtain the opinions of legislators, and where appropriate enlist the assistance of legislators, to ensure that:
-
Recently admitted legislators receive clear information on what to do in their new role as opposed to simply being informed of their admittance.
-
Recently admitted legislators have clear and easily navigable ways to obtain information about the Assembly.
The Legislator Act mandates that the Chair remove any legislators who:
-
No longer hold citizenship.
-
Were absent from all votes held in the preceding month if only two were held, or more than one third if three or more were held, excluding votes held while on leave.
The Chair extends leniency under the following circumstances:
-
Usually Compliant: The legislator failed the voting requirement but has not been warned or removed (due to resignation or non-compliance) in the previous three months.
-
First Month: The legislator failed the voting requirement but joined no earlier than 7 days before the start of the month under review and has not been removed (due to resignation or non-compliance) in the previous three months.
-
Special Case: The legislator failed the voting requirement due to unavoidable circumstances that warrant special considerations.
The Assembly held 2 votes in the preceding month, therefore legislators must be present for at least 1 vote in order to comply with the voting requirement.
Pursuant to the Legislator Act, the Chair hereby removes and/or warns the following legislators due to non-compliance:
Warned - Usually Compliant
Warned - First Month
