Bill: Anti-Censorship Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Techno-Revolutionary 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: November 2738
Description[?]:
| We feel that the following measures will reduce the censorship currently being imposed by the government. Barmenian citizens should be able to choose what they can and can't watch or be told without a higher authority deciding for them. It is also counter-productive for the education of our people, many of whom are not even religious, to force religion upon them against their will during their education. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
