The [[14th General Assembly]] saw Llorens partner with Uan aa Boa and Greylyn to author arguably one of the most defining pieces of legislation in Assemblian history - the Separate Cabinet legislative package. The package, which initially garnered some scepticism but eventually was broadly accepted, formalised the executive branch as the Cabinet, removed the Secretary and Vice Secretary (renamed from Prime Minister) from the General Assembly, and expanded the number of Members of the General Assembly (renamed from Senators) to seven. Llorens also unsuccessfully opposed Dawtania's Civil Cases legislative package for his perception that it would unnecessarily complicate the judicial process by separating civil and criminal cases, which only narrowly passed the newly-increased two-thirds constitutional amendment threshold. He concurrently served as a Justice of the [[14th Supreme Court]] during this term, contributing to legal rulings on the application of ministerial policy, the public nature of General Assembly voting, and the departure of election candidates.
 
Returning from semi-retirement, Llorens was elected as an MGA in the [[15th General Assembly]], once more as the top-ranked candidate, and passed six bills/amendments almost unanimously, including a new endorsement cap in the Endorsement Cap Bill, the increase of Justice confirmation thresholds to two-thirds in Constitution Amendment (Court Confirmations), and the abolition of nation category restrictions on running for office in Category Restriction Amendment (Act Removal). TheOn renewed30 involvementOctober, inLlorens co-founded the legislativeregion's processfirst-ever polling company, ''Unity Statistics'', with [[Nottinhaps]], with the aim of gauging opinion on election races, leaders, and divisive issues. This renewed political involvement set the stage for a third tilt at Secretary in the following election.
