The '''1st Farun Senate''', met from May 9, 2024 to May 26, 2024, in the Urbis Capitol Building. With the initial meeting of the [[Farun Senate|Senate]], the new Farun Government started operating within the frame set by the [[Republic of Faru|Farun Constitution]]. The apportionment and districting of the senate seats was exceptionally done by the [[Farun Constitutional Convention|Constitutional Convention]], as without a president or senate, it was impossible to appoint justices of the supreme court to do so. No party reached a majority in this senate, but it was generally dominated by the new [[Liberal-Conservative Party]]. 

= Major Legislation = 

* The [[Farun Penal Code]], a foundational piece of legislation that created the criminal legal system in Faru. 
* The [[Poll Tax Act]], a law that established the first national tax. 

* The Anti Public Assembly laws, a [[Quorum Act|law]] and [[Limiting the Public Assembly Amendment|amendment]] meant to render the [[Public Assembly]] useless and establish full senatorial supremacy. 

= Members =

Multiple senators were elected under banners that did not exist by the time the senate first met, such as the [[Liberal Caucus]] and the [[Conservative Party]], which on May 7 merged into the [[Liberal-Conservative Party]] as well as the [[People's Social-Developmental Party]], which reorganized itself as the Farun Labor Front on the same day. The situation immediately after the election can be seen on the first image in the gallery next to the member's list, with yellow representing the liberals, blue the conservatives and red the socialists.
