Details
Submitted by[?]: Jelbénkai Utrji Spjogad
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: August 3531
Description[?]:
| As part of this bill we propose that Fishing and forestry matters are devolved to local government in order to better respect the lakes, seas and woods in each region. We also aim to offer incentives for those using environmentally friendly vehicles, and encourage mass transit for commuters and travellers. The final part of this bill seeks to change agricultural subsidies, shifting production from market-demand crops to subsidising only farmers who are improving and protecting the environment. Market prices for produce will henceforth be determined by industry. |
