Bill: Utility Reform Act of 2451
Details
Submitted by[?]: Vanuku Corporate Alliance
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 2452
Description[?]:
| The VFA thinks it unacceptable to deprive our citizens of protection from the robber-barons and top hat and monocle-wearing plutocrats that those with a more libertarian bent would have us be subject to instead of the rule of law. We therefore propose this act, which will strengthen consumer protection and protect our energy infrastructure from dastardly villains. |
