Bill: Liberal reform on the Solentian economy
Details
Submitted by[?]: Utilitarian Party of Solentia
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: August 2937
Description[?]:
| As the Federal Republic of Solentia starts a new era of multi-partisanship, several reforms are needed in our stagnated economy. All the proposals being included had already been discussed but were blocked last legislature; seeing that no arguments were raised against the motion, it is our belief that enough discussion has already taken place and the proposals only require a fast approval. |
