Details
Submitted by[?]: Medrisite-Associated Revisionist Council
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: July 3311
Description[?]:
| "Of course we are against unnecessary regulation where it infringes upon the rights of ordinary citizens, but we must realize that our children currently may consume alcoholic beverages at any age. We cannot accept this law and believe it must be changed immediately." "Regarding article 2, we do not believe in forcing the licensing of tobacco retailers. The entire purpose of that particular law is to prevent children from purchasing tobacco, and that can be done by ensuring that only those above the legal age may do so." Chairman R. Benjamin Olson, under the orders of: His Imperial Majesty Louis M. Mederagaar, House of Mederagaar. |

A situation such as that might have dire consequences on the child's development. The parents can only do so much, the rest must be done by us." |
