Bill: Reform of Food and Alcohol Laws
Details
Submitted by[?]: Protectorate Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2369
Description[?]:
| Limiting alcohol consumption to adults creates an adult population not used to the effects of alcohol. Responsible drinking begins with permitting consumption while a citizen is still with their guardians, or responsible adults. Thus we suggest changing sale and consumption laws to permit those under 21 to learn to drink responsibly. To help balance this change we propose strengthening the laws against unruly public drunkenness, operating machinery while inebriated as well as attending public schools in an altered state. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy towards alcoholic beverages.
Old value:: Alcoholic beverages may be purchased and consumed anywhere, but only by adults.
Current: Alcoholic beverages may be purchased and consumed anywhere, but only by adults.
Proposed: Alcoholic beverages may be purchased only from licensed sales outlets, but consumed by anyone.
