Arstotzkan Legislation Versions

The Arstotzkan Legislation Versions or the Arstotzkan Legislation Version System (ALVS) are a series of updating and improvements on legislation design in the Arstotzkan Union. The first legislation version came about in February 2020 (2020.2). Since then there have been 5 versions.

The idea of Legislation Versions came in 2020 when Constitution Versions were introduced. However this was phased out by 2021 in favour of it being a part of the legislation.
