Decree E49D139.41

Decree E49D139.41 was a law passed by the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars restricting military cloning to certain worlds and corporations. The recording published by the Republic Legal Review read:

"All nonmilitary cloning of sentients is prohibited, and military cloning is to be confined to Republic-licensed facilities, such as those of the government of Kamino and any others designated by the Republic now or at any time during the duration of the hostilities. This prohibition encompasses the supply of cloning equipment; the hiring or contracting of cloning technologists and genetic engineers for the purpose of carrying out cloning techniques; and the procurement of sentient cloned organisms. Exemptions: Khomm, Lur, Columus, and Arkania may continue therapeutic medical cloning with appropriate license on a case-by-case basis."

On the date 14:7:01, a CIS Shadowfeed issue criticized the law for being shortsighted and impacting economy of several Republic planets negatively, including the Deep Core world of Khomm. In addition, the law was cited as another example of Republic bureaucracy trampling the freedoms of its citizenry.
