Bill: Children Employment Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Revolutionary Constit'nal United Front
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: April 2477
Description[?]:
| Since slavery is allowed, it seems quite odd that we prohibit VOLUNTARY child employment. After all some families are poor and have many children. If they are to depend on state assistance they will drain funds out of our economy. Let them have an option that will allow for both greater income for them, and higher production for the nation. We must also make education voluntary to accomadate this legislation. |
