Bill: Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918
Details
Submitted by[?]: Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA)
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: May 2920
Description[?]:
| We believe the governments of the dukedoms, marquessates, earldoms and baronies of our Empire should be given the option to choose whether or not to regulate controversial and possibly obscene and immoral public acts. Furthermore, this bill includes a clause that every local government must, at the very minimum, enact adoption regulations to make sure that those with previous history of child abuse or neglect, as well as those who have a past that makes them unfit to be parents, be prohibited from legally adopting a child. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy with respect to adultery.
Old value:: There is no explicit government policy on adultery.
Current: Adultery is illegal, but not prosecuted.
Proposed: Local governments establish policies on adultery.
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change Government position in respect to crossdressing policy.
Old value:: The government has no policy concerning crossdressing.
Current: Local governments determine the legality of crossdressing.
Proposed: Local governments determine the legality of crossdressing.

| Message | Mr Speaker, Debate and comments are open for this bill and heavily encouraged, we wish to hear the opinions of all the parties in His Majesty's Diet. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Articles 2 and 3 stand to violate personal privacy rights of the Empire's citizens. Article 1 is too lenient and allow low regulation standards to be acceptable. We would wish to establish basic national laws regarding adoption regulation. I yield |
| Date | 00:12:10, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Alliance | To | Debating the Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918 |
| Message | Mr Speaker Articles 2 and 3 are under debate in our party but we are leaning against them right now. Article 1 is splendid. I yield |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are opposed to Article 1 and Article 2. We think that a national policy concerning the abortion and adultery issues must be established. We are aware that many issues should be up to the local government to the decide, however, these issues are of national concern and the stances should not differ between duchies. We may support Article 3, even though we are unsure whether it is wise to let the local government decide how ones dress. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We must, for now, oppose this bill. Article 1 is perfect because of the clause, which mixes the powers of the national and local governments. Articles 2 and 3, however, must be a national issue. Adultery and crossdressing are moral issues that the Church of Luthori should play a part. As the Church of Luthori is our state religion, it is only natural to make a national ruling on those two subjects; both of which should be banned. Immorality is the root of evil. We yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe there is a call for greater regulation of adoption on a national scale and that therefore, article 1 should be split from the rest. Is this agreeable to the parties of the Diet? I yield. |
| Date | 16:39:21, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, It is agreeable, but we still have issue with Articles 2 and 3. If you remember our statement before, we think you may agree. We yield. |
| Date | 11:30:58, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Some sort of regulation is better than not at all regarding the former articles 2 and 3. I yield. |
| Date | 14:41:22, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, True, but our opinion still stands. Perhaps this bill will become a stepping stone to many more. We yield. |
| Date | 16:26:16, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Conservative Party (ACN&IA) | To | Debating the Morality and Public Decency Devolution Act of 2918 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We are opposed to this bill because the state should not meddle with people's private affairs, and it should especially not differ between duchies. |
