Bill: Environmental Policy Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Srnkzi Knstat Prta
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: September 3551
Description[?]:
The environment of Jelbania is in an improvable condition. The state has strict monopolies over waste disposal and Environmental handling that should be eased to allow environmental progress. In this bill we plan on creating offensives against state owned logging. Although the point of this was probably to provide for more employment and less environmental damage the proven inefficiency and wasteful nature of state owned industry makes this counterproductive. Also mandatory state handling of waste adds further administrative burden to the state. Our Environmental policy must be shrunk so more resources are available for more important environmental issues. |
