Bill: Identification Protection Act of 2129
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Daio 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: March 2130
Description[?]:
| In an effort to prevent crimes such as identity theft and to facilitate the accurate keeping of records for the courts and for voting, we propose that each citizen be issued an identification card that verifies their identity. The identification card would be required to have a photograph no older than two years of the carrier, and list the carrier's name and address. Other information may be included at the discretion of the card holder, and may not include Social Security Numbers, bank account information, or other non-public information. It is reccomended but not required that existing health conditions be listed on the back of the card to assist medical personnel. A valid driver's licence qualifies as adequate identification under this act. For those without a valid driver's licence, no charge will be assessed to aquire the card. Though it is not required that a person have their identification card on them at all times, citizens will be made aware of possible consequences of not carrying it in specific circumstances, for example, denial of services from the government and private sector specific to them for security reasons. Citizens will also be encouraged to keep it with them as much as possible. |

| Message | As long as the card is just a photo ID with name, address, and just simple information, then this shouldn't be a problem. |

| Date | 04:29:02, October 22, 2005 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the Identification Protection Act of 2129 |
| Message | We oppose. This Bill is also reducing the Civil Rights of our people and making it more of a Police State. We feel this is not needed at the present time. |
| Date | 04:55:24, October 22, 2005 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the Identification Protection Act of 2129 |
| Message | We would have agreed with : All citizens are issued with identity cards but are not required to carry them. Rather than force people to carry them and fining them or imprisoning them if they dont. |
| Date | 07:13:41, October 22, 2005 CET | From | People's Democratic Party | To | Debating the Identification Protection Act of 2129 |
| Message | We will also oppose and will agree with the Labor Party's compromise. Only then we will agree to support this bill. |

| Message | The requirement to carry I had in mind had nothing along the lines of fines/imprisonment as punishment. Suffice to say, I can see the point, however, things may be more difficult for a person if they don't carry it. I agree to the compromise and will adjust the value, and start the voting. |
