Details
Submitted by[?]: Paleofederalist 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 2881
Description[?]:
| The Paleofederalist Party Policy states that matters involving criminal law should be under the jurisdiction of the federal government. However, matters of health are to be decided by the provincial governments. Therefore, where drugs are to be criminally illegal (such as heroin and cocaine) the federal government shall decide. If provinces wish to ban a drug legal in other provinces, they can do so in a non-criminal way under health regulations. Provinces alone should be responsibe for regulations on legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
