Emergency Amendment 121b
this was the fifth of the major amendments ratified by the Old Republic Senate, during the hostilities of the Clone Wars. Sometimes called the Reflex Amendment, this decision by the Old Republic Senate provided for an increase in Emperor Palpatine's ability to react to the battles being fought during the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, the law gave Palpatine unprecedented control over the movement of military assets across areas of jurisdiction, shifting the responsibility for maneuvering defenses from the regional sector or planetary governments to Palpatine himself.
