Bill: Local Government Decency Empowerment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa)
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2569
Description[?]:
| DRs are pretty open minded about what's appropriate public behavior. Our home province is famously progressive on these matters. But really, shouldn't this be a matter for local governments? Why do the so-called "Libertarians" advocate a bloated federal behemoth dictating policy to the provinces? Do we really need a *federal* right to rub nasties in public? |

Proposal[?] to change Displays of public affection and obscenity laws.
Old value:: There are no laws regarding obscene public acts.
Current: Sexual intercourse is illegal in public.
Proposed: Local governments may regulate laws on public acts of affection and obscenity.

| Message | We don't care. In fact, people can run nude, it's not the government's right to not let them do that. Though, I wouldn't. :P |

| Message | But that's not about that. We wouldn't want someone to have sex out in public, that's different. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
