Bill: Further Deregulation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Voronan Libertarian 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: February 3625
Description[?]:
| Our economy is severely regulated and fettered with by the state and governmental organisations. Although we recognise the need of basic regulation on vital sectors that may be subject to corruption if left wholly to the private sector, the deregulations we propose are exclusively for sectors that could very well live without state intervention. Deregulation will allow companies to spawn exponentially in Vorona, each competing for a higher market share, in turn lowering prices and-- provided labour laws are balanced enough-- guarantee a higher quality of life for everyone. |

| Message | Stock exchanges will rule themselves instead of the state. The CEOs and Boards of Directors will set their own regulations on what, and to what extent, can and cannot be done. Things like quarterly reports and filings are seen as "requirements" to be listed publicly and any company that doesn't comply with these rules and regulations can be kicked out by the stock exchange's CEO. |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names.
