Bill: Age of Adulthood
Details
Submitted by[?]: Grand Republican 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: March 2095
Description[?]:
| The Grand Republican Party believes, that with the passing of the Education Age Bill, that the age of adulthood should be changed from 16 to 18. We do not believe that at the age of 16 a teenager can be fully aware of their responsiblities as an adult, and are not fully socially aware and fully integrated into society at this young age. |

| Message | [OOC:] Agreed. The problem is that it's a bit inconsistent that in this country you cant leave school until you're 18 yet at 16 you're an adult and have to pay taxes etc. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
