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.

Description[?]:
| CeC believes that industrial hemp does not need regulating. We also believe that genetically modified crops should be allowed. For those of you concerned about eating GM crops we would like to point out our current labeling laws require that any GM ingredients be disclosed, so a person may easily avoid it if they wish. Vote yes and support individual liberties in this matter. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
