Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Capitalist Delegation
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.

Description[?]:
| For decades the state has wasted its money interfering in functions it has no business interfering in, impeding economic growth. While it is important to ensure that our disadvantaged are provided for and that there are cheap nationalized options for essential services, the exclusion of privatization is economically damaging, and the waste of taxpayer dollars is unacceptable. |
