Bill: Gambling regulations
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socio-Democratic Union
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: July 2143
Description[?]:
| The SDU is proposing that gambling should now be restricted to private houses and licensed public places, ie casinos. The SDU believes that money-games are not "healthy", and are at the very roots of criminal activities. Controlling where people could gamble would be a way to fight against unfair, sometimes addictives or criminal, activities. |
