The ''comitia plebis tributa'' have adopted by XX votes against YY with WW abstentions the following text.

Tribune P. Minius Albucius, as presiding magistrate, promulgates the law in the following terms :

In view of article IV.A.5 of the Constitution of Nova Roma which creates ordinary magistrates designated as "''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs''" ;

In view of the [[lex Grylla de securandis magistratus plebis (Nova Roma)|Gryllan law on the securing of magistrates of the ''Plebs'' (''lex Grylla de securandis magistratus plebis'')]] of November 14,1999 ;

In view of the [[lex Arminia de officiis aedilium plebis (Nova Roma)|Arminian law on the duties of
''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' (''lex Arminia de officiis aedilium plebis'')]] of June 2, 2004 ;

In view of the [[Lex Arminio de cursu honorum (Nova Roma)|Arminian law on the ''cursus honorum'' (''lex Arminia de cursu honorum'')]] of June 2, 2004 ;

In view of the [[lex Fabia centuriata (Nova Roma)|Fabian centuriate law (''lex Fabia centuriata'')]] of December 2, 2003 ;

In view of the management and moderation of public forums ;

In view of the need to specify the functions of these ''Aediles'' in order best to implement the constitutional rules which concern them ;

In view of the need to strengthen the coherence of the institutions of the ''Plebs'' ;

Whereas a law may not restrict the dispositions laid down by the Constitution of Nova Roma ;

It is disposed:

===I. ((Definitions))===

In the present law, "aedility of the ''Plebs''" means either the office held by one or more ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' (hereinafter called also "''Aediles''"), or the institution as a whole, whatever the number of ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' in office at a certain time.

===II. ((Repeals))===

:A. The [[lex Arminia de officiis aedilium plebis (Nova Roma)|Arminian law on the functions of the ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' (''lex Arminia de officiis aedilium plebis'')]] of June 2, 2004 is abrogated and replaced by the present law.

:B. The [[lex Arminia de cursu honorum (Nova Roma)|Arminian law on the ''cursus honorum'' (''lex Arminia de cursu honorum'')]] of June 2, 2004 is abrogated and replaced by the present law.

===III. ((Restrictions on candidacy))===

Citizens belonging to the order of the ''Plebs'', and thus called "plebeians", are the only ones
authorized to stand for the plebeian magistracies defined by the Constitution of Nova Roma.

===IV. ((Qualifications for candidacy))===

The only plebeians authorized to stand for the aedility of the ''Plebs'' are those who are able to prove that they have served for at least one year as Tribune of the ''Plebs'', ''quaestor'', ''curator'', provincial governor, or assistant (scribe) to an Aedile of the ''Plebs''. In the last office, the scribe must be serving at the date when the ''comitia'' are convened for the election of one or both ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs''.

===V. ((Duties))===

:A. According to the Constitution, ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' are fully responsible for the following duties:

:: - the organization of public games and other festivals, events, and gatherings ;
:: - the maintenance of order during public religious events ;
:: - the management of any public property that the State of Nova Roma may acquire ;
:: - the administration of law.

:B. By the present law, ''Aediles'' are also entrusted with the two following duties :

:: - the management (also called in this special case "ownership") of the public forums of the ''comitia plebis tributa'';

:: - the preservation of the whole legal corpus of Nova Roma, in force or obsolete, which concerns the ''Plebs'' or which has been edicted or promulgated by magistrates of the ''Plebs''.

:For these two duties, the ''Aediles'' are directed to maintain a close collaboration with the Tribunes of the ''Plebs''.

===VI. ((Collegiality))===

:A. ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' shall exercise their functions jointly. They may divide up, as they see fit, the duties that they have to carry out, so as to render the best public service to the citizens of Nova Roma.

:B. When an election, in the appropriate and duly convened ''comitia'', does not succeed in filling an aedilician office and then creates a prolonged vacancy of this office, the Aedile of the ''Plebs'' who is alone in office shall take charge of all the tasks which are ordinarily entrusted by constitution, laws, edicts, &c. to both ''Aediles''.

===VII. ((''Ludi''))===

According to article 5 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the organization of public games and other festivals, events, and gatherings.

:A. The public games whose organization is incumbent on the ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' are the games of Ceres and the Plebeian games. Both events are acknowledged as official games of the Republic of Nova Roma and shall thus receive the support of all the institutions of Nova Roma and the financial commitment of the State as far as necessary.

:B. ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' shall appoint and organize, as they see fit, the dates of the games, their length, and their agenda.

:C. The ''Aediles'' shall manage the budget of the games - if there be one - and make expenditures and receipts according to the rules defined by any relevant ''senatus consultum''. The treasury of Nova Roma will reimburse, upon presentation of proofs of expenditure, all expenses incurred by the ''Aediles'' from their own pockets.

:D. When the treasury of Nova Roma is asked by the ''Aediles'' to participate in the organization, occurrence, development, or financing of the games, the ''Aediles'' must create a presentation file which contains :
:: - an estimated budget for each event, including expenses and receipts provided for ;
:: - a summary presentation note accompanying this budget ;
:: - any useful additional documents.

:E. This file shall be sent to a Tribune of the ''Plebs'', who shall immediately convene the Senate, to examine these documents. The Tribune shall pass this file to the Senate, and may add her / his own comments.

:F. The Senate shall approve or reject this file. A rejection forbids the ''Aediles'' to organize the games, unless they do it without funds from Nova Roma. An approval allows the games to be organized at the expense of the treasury of Nova Roma as set out in the file. The Senate shall modify, if necessary, the general budget of Nova Roma in collaboration with the consular quaestors.

:G. The ''Aediles'' shall supervise these events with an eye to their correct development, their morality, their dignity, and their respect for the values of Nova Roma. They shall maintain order at these events.

:H. In case of default or prolonged vacancy of both ''Aediles'', the Tribunes of the ''Plebs'' shall act in concert with the consuls to ensure that the games take place. In this case, the curule ''Aediles'' may be invited to take responsibility for the games, but may not be compelled to do so.

===VIII. ((Public order))===

According to article 5 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the maintenance of order during public religious events. They shall thus supervise these events with an eye to their correct development, their morality, their dignity, and their respect for the values of Nova Roma.

:A. The ''Aediles'' shall perform this duty in collaboration with the priestly colleges and their delegates.

:B. This task is to be performed within the limits set down by the law of Nova Roma and by the laws to which it is submitted.

===IX. ((Public property))===

According to article 4 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the management of any public property that the State of Nova Roma may acquire.

:A. In the present law, the word "property" means any personal property or real estate as defined by the law of Nova Roma or, in the absence of any relevant law of Nova Roma, as defined by the macronational legal rules of the place where the property is duly registered.

:B. In the present law, the word "public" signifies any property, as defined above, acquired by Nova Roma according to its law, whatever its use.

:C. All public property entrusted to the ''Aediles'' is considered to have been acquired according to the macronational law of the country where the property is located or where the contract took place by which Nova Roma acquired the property.

:D. Any Aedile who suspects that any public property entrusted to him has been acquired irregularly, as set out in the paragraph above, may issue a note in which she / he officially exempts herself / himself from responsibility, considering the facts which have come to her / his knowledge.

:E. The ''Aediles'' shall present every year to the Senate a report on the management of the public property entrusted to them. This report, before it is presented to the Senate, shall be sent to the Tribunes of the ''Plebs'' and to the consuls, who may add their own comments. These comments shall be communicated to the Senate together with the report. The Tribunes of the ''Plebs'' shall convene the Senate for this purpose.

:F. The Senate shall ratify or reject this report. A rejection exempts the State from responsibility for the ''Aediles''' management, and the ''Aediles'' must take responsibility under the law of Nova Roma and any relevant macronational law.

:G. Exceptionally, even if the term of the ''Aediles''' annual mandate has been reached, their term may be extended until their modified report has been approved by the Senate. This extension is solely to allow the ''Aediles'' to modify the report, and shall not prevent the newly elected ''Aediles'' from entering office and taking up their duties.

===X. ((''Iuris dictio''))===

According to article 5 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the administration of law.

This responsibility is held concurrently with the responsibility of other magistrates who have the same responsibility.

===XI. ((Public fora))===

According to article 5 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the management (also called in this
special case "ownership") of the public forums of the ''comitia plebis tributa''.

:A. They shall supervise these forums with an eye to good behaviour, dignity, and respect for civil rights and for the values of Nova Roma.

:B. They shall comply with any request by a presiding Tribune of the ''Plebs'' to issue a communication in these forums.

:C. The management of the ''comitia plebis tributa'' is the responsibility of the Tribunes of the ''Plebs''.

===XII. ((Legal archives))===

According to article 5 above, the ''Aediles'' are responsible for the preservation of the whole legal corpus of Nova Roma, in force or obsolete, which concerns the ''Plebs'' or which has been edicted or promulgated by magistrates of the ''Plebs''.

:A. This provision concerns obsolete law as well as current law and does not limit the way in which the law is compiled (whether individually, by type, in a codex, &c.)

:B. This duty is to be performed in close collaboration with the Tribunes of the ''Plebs''.

:C. The ''Aediles'' shall comply, within these limits, with every instruction by a Tribune of the ''Plebs'' as well as with every request by a Tribune of the ''Plebs'' for a new or forgotten document, support or rule, to be inserted.

:D. The ''Aediles'' shall communicate to the Tribunes of the ''Plebs'', on request, all information contained within the collections which they manage.

:E. In addition to the duty of conserving the plebeian legal corpus, the ''Aediles'' shall take care to provide the citizens of Nova Roma with the best possible public service by means of access to the collections which they manage.

===XIII. ((''Scribae''))===

In order to perform their duties, the ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' shall organize their staffs as they see fit. Like the other magistrates dealt with by the Constitution of Nova Roma, they may issue edicts, appoint assistants (scribes) to whom they may delegate their powers as limited by legal rules, create discussion forums (also called "lists") whose membership may be, at their discretion, either public or restricted to administrative and managerial communication within the ''Aediles''' staffs.

===XIV. ((Other public office))===

An Aedile of the ''Plebs'' may also be a ''senator'' under the conditions set out in the [[lex Arminia senatoria (Nova Roma)|Arminian senatorial law (''lex Arminia senatoria'')]] of June 2, 2004, but shall not, as any magistrate or office holder defined by the paragraph IV.A. of the Constitution of Nova Roma, hold at the same time another office defined in this paragraph.

===XV. ((Century-points))===

The part of paragraph II.B.1 of the [[lex Fabia centuriata (Nova Roma)|Fabian centuriate law (''lex Fabia centuriata'')]] of December 2, 2003 which concerns the ''Aediles'' of the ''Plebs'' is replaced by the following paragraph :
