Bill: Relaxing recycling regulations
Details
Submitted by[?]: Cooperative Commonwealth Federation
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 2115
Description[?]:
| The habit of recycling should, by now, be ingrained among the people of Lodamun. This bill will remove the mandatory recycling requirement for individiuals, while still maintaining full recycling pick-up at all homes and apartments. Businesses will still be requireed to recycle and otherwise remain responsible for disposing of their own waste. To move towards an incentive-based system, individuals and businesses will be paid for their output of recyclables, offering everyone a stake in the continued success of the recycling system. The amount to be paid will be calculated on output, but not be so high as to make the recycling industry a drain on the government treasury. Parties voting "yes" for this bill agree to retain this relaxed recycling system in place for a minimum of ten years. |
