Details
Submitted by[?]: Party for Development of Solentia
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 2796
Description[?]:
| Some of the most developed countries in the world have stopped smoking in public places, because of the damage it can cause to people who don't smoke. But what we are doing is letting all the local governments do as they like. But letting this case to local government can make a total mess of the law, which can be different from one region to another. What we need to do is spread one law in all the regions. Because people who travel from a region to another may not know their law according to smoking and this could to anger from our citizens. And we don't want that to happen. |
