Council of the Purse

There shall be a Council of the Purse, consisting of the Crown (or Regent), the Kingdom Seneschal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Deputy to the Chancellor of the Exchequer (AUS/NZ) to determine matters of general finance and the distribution of funds during the reign.
For the council to make a decision, the members of the council must be unanimously in agreement.
The Council of the Purse is responsible for approving the budget bid for every Crown event and kingdom expenditure.
The Royal Heirs shall be made party to discussions of the council, but not have a vote.

There shall be a Council of Regalia.
Its duties will be to advise the Crown as to the artistic, historical, and practical merit of proposed regalia and equipment.
Further, the council will specifically advise the Crown as to the acceptability of such items.
All offers of donation, and all proposals for acquisition of Crown regalia will be handled through this council.
Any article of regalia given to the Crown without having first been approved by the council will be deemed a personal gift to the Sovereign and/or Consort to whom it is presented.
All items of regalia are considered the property of the Kingdom of Lochac and may be disposed of only with the unanimous consent of the council.

Voting members of the council shall be the Sovereign and Consort, the Keeper of Regalia, the Kingdom Seneschal, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Non-voting members shall be the Royal Heirs, and such persons the Crown deems relevant to the subject matter.

The Council for Regalia will conduct an inventory of the royal regalia immediately prior to its transfer from the outgoing to the incoming Crown.
A representative of both sets of incoming and outgoing Crowns should be present.
The council shall determine if the outgoing Crown shall be held fiscally responsible for loss or damage to regalia entrusted into their care.
The new Crown shall acknowledge in writing the receipt of those items of regalia coming into their possession.
Other items of regalia shall remain in the possession of the council's representative.
