Bill: Fair Polltion Control Scheme
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party
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 3619
Description[?]:
*READ* If passed, this bill shall enforce fairer pollution control regulations with regards to Industrial Pollution. Industrial Companies will be required to follow basic pollution prevention guidelines but this bill will replace the "strict" guidelines with an option of a yearly "Environmental Target". This will be a list of various environmental targets that the Environment Minister shall present to companies and then the company shall have to choose a minimum of one target that they shall aim to accomplish by the end of the year. Businesses that achieve their target by the end of the year shall receive a government grant - businesses who fail to meet their targets will be fined. This will encourage businesses to view pollution control as a good thing, rather than a negative thing. It will be more effective than "Strict Compulsory Pollution Control Guidelines" as businesses will want to achieve their targets and the fact that there are multiple targets to choose from gives businesses more freedom. A recent poll also suggests that most Alorians are in favor of this stance on pollution control. |
