Bill: Safety for our Citizens! Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aloria United
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: July 2114
Description[?]:
Our current policy for civil defence is great - we currently allocate the responsibility for building and maintaining shelters to local authorities. Why not take this one step further, though, and make the private sector ensure the safety of its workers, and the public at large. We propose that all large (greater than 2000 square metres in ground area size) private buildings must have capacity for underground civil defence. In the event of an earthquake, a volcano, or plenty of other disasters, these shelters will save lives. However, since this is likely to be costly to implement retrospectively, not to mention difficult (for some buildings, impossible), we propose this law to only concern new buildings, not those currently existing. |

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
