Bill: Ecological protection
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: April 2948
Description[?]:
| Solentia has had a tough line regarding logging and the conservation of protected species. This has ensured the animal and vegetable populations have already been stabilized and we therefore see no further reason to reopen the sector. Minor protections will be taken to prevent destruction of the land, but a reopening should be no problem. |
