Bill: Advertising Regulation Proposal
Details
Submitted by[?]: We Say So! 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 2099
Description[?]:
In order to reduce the proliferation of crude advertisments appearing the Government will introduce an Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) to review all advertisments that appear before the public. The public may also make any complaits to the ASA about any advertisments that they deem to be of "poor taste", though it will be up to the ASA whether said advertisment breaches any laws. As further to existing advertisment laws (covered in the Media Censure Proposal), all adverts containing tobacco products, and other recreational drugs (not including medicinal drugs or alcohol) use are banned in order not to increase the proliferation of the use of these products. |

Message | Does this include alcohol? |

Date | 12:49:53, August 20, 2005 CET | From | Social Democratic Liberal Party | To | Debating the Advertising Regulation Proposal |
Message | We support this measure, although we would withdraw our support if it were to propose banning alcohol advertising. However, we do recognise that any advertising for alcohol products should have a visible yet unobtrusive warning to drink responsibly. |

Message | Seems good to me. Just explicitly add that the ASA can ban adverts that contravene this bill (http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=8320). |
