AISIO register · s. 41
Sunset register
Section 41 puts a kill date on the last law that requires a person to care. Essential opens inside the ninety days. This register is the paperwork of that urgency — what lapses, what the renewal fight is about, and why ceremony is not the same as oversight.
Countdown
The expiry on the carton.
In force · Sunsets
In-world clock (Essential era): — inside the ninety days.
From the in-world clock to lapse:
What lapses with the Act
- Every certification issued under the Act
- The requirement that a certified orchestrator remain in the decision loop of critical systems
- AISIO's power to treat borrowed credentials as an offence under s. 14
- Orders, designations, and cross-border reciprocity schedules that depend on the Act
Renewal scenarios
Renewal
Both Houses authorize continuation. The signature requirement survives. The political cost is the fight Essential is about — and the ceremony problem does not go away just because the statute does not.
Lapse
No resolution. On the anniversary, the Act ceases. No order, certification, or designation survives. Critical systems keep running. The legal human in the loop becomes optional again.
Amend to weaken
A renewal that redefines "within the decision loop" until a timestamp counts. The Act survives on paper. Section 14 becomes harder to enforce. Ceremony wins by redraft.
