Bill: De-Secularization Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kanjoran Imperial 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: January 2155
Description[?]:
| I've been looking over some of the bills going to vote, and I'm suprised that the Secularity Bill passed. I know that I left, but I had some agreements that shouldn't have been broken. Still, our official religion is the Kanjoran Orthodox Church, even if the state doesn't have much say in it. I've made some compromises so that this has broader support. |
