Bill: Protection of National Assets
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ikradonian Faith 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 2135
Description[?]:
| After months of analysis and studying the statistics, the IFP proposes the following legislation changes to increase the security of our nation's assets.
