Details
Submitted by[?]: Likatonian Bitter Cynics
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| If you're a public official, you've gotta show equal respect to all people that may use your services. Not everyone shares your religion, so by advertising it in front of everyone, you're showing that you put your religion ahead of your country, and thus your job, and are therefore pretty much a taxpayer-funded evangelist. |

Old value:: There are no laws regulating the wearing of religious clothing and the wearing of religious symbols.
