Bill: Alcohol Reform Act, 2586
Details
Submitted by[?]: Federal Rutanian Libertarian Union
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: May 2587
Description[?]:
| An act to remove government interference from alcohol policy and thus leave it up to the parents to decide when and in what capacity they would like to allow their children to begin consuming alcohol. This again is one of the instances when it is up to the parent to be responsible enough to education their children rather than the state acting as the 'nanny' for children. |

| Message | this bill truly only regulates where people may buy alcohol... |
| Date | 07:57:39, June 05, 2008 CET | From | Federal Rutanian Libertarian Union | To | Debating the Alcohol Reform Act, 2586 |
| Message | Exactly right, the previous bill bans parents altogether from determining what is the right age for their children to start consuming alcohol as it limits the consumption purely to 'adults' - thus a bill which limits purchases to adults alone but removes the restriction afterward alows for greater flexibility for all. |
