Bill: Pesticides Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Totalitarian Party
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: August 2124
Description[?]:
| Presently, local governments decide the legality of chemical pesticides in our nation. The Totalitarian Party believes all chemical pesticides should be illegal in our nation. Pesticides can have an adverse impact on the environment. Wildlife can be harmed by them, and humans can become ill after consuming produce sprayed with them. Also, insects targeted by the pesticides eventually grow resistant to them, forcing farmers to use even more potent chemicals on their crops. |
