Bill: Freedom of Movement Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Neo-Epicurean 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: May 2442
Description[?]:
| While areas in a state of emergency may find it necessary to impose a temporary curfew, we believe that the current law could allow communities to arbitrarily restrict the right of citizens to freely move about. In ordinary times, there is no reason to forbid law-abiding citizens from going where they will at any time. |
Proposals

Current: The national government may impose curfews, but only if a state of emergency has been declared.
Proposed: Local governments may impose curfews, but only if a state of emergency has been declared.
