Bill: Family Reform Program
Details

Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 3373
Description[?]:
| By definition, children do not consent to be introduced into society, so they're entitled to reliable parenting. This includes decent, original, dimorphic expertise which teaches children how to confidently negotiate compensation. With the Anti-Consumerism Campaign, this program will commit towards making sure children are not abandoned by negligent parents who hide behind rugged individualism and don't care about providing a thorough upbringing. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
