Details
Submitted by[?]: Welfare and Justice Party
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: June 2685
Description[?]:
| This Bill is designed to counter recently passed legislature by the PPP that placed some restrictions on Religious practice in the nation, The WJP has been a long supporter in the Freedom of Religious practice without the placement restrictions either for or against a specific religion, although there are certain exceptions such as cult worship, especially those calling for illegal activities such as Human Sacrifice or -more recently- the abolishment of the Republic such as the Stephenist cult. As an addendum to this bill, the restrictions on religious schools are to be limited to areas where they have been culturally active and important particularly in the Agundi province and areas of concentrated religious minorities, these establishments are still expected to be on par with other schools and will need to satisfy national standards of education. |
