Bill: The Forest Localism Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Federalist 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: April 3643
Description[?]:
We believe that local states should have the maximum control of the resources within its borders. This is because they know their territory better than those in the capital. Therefore they are most definitely capable of managing the responsibility of looking after local forests. Forests are a vital part of this county's natural beauty, heritage and environmental protection. Therefore it is too important to be administered by out of touch bureaucrats far away. Local government should decide. |
Proposals
Article 1

Old value:: There is a national agency which owns and manages all forest land.
Current: There is a national agency which exists side-by-side with commercial forestry companies.
Proposed: Local governments are required to operate forestry agencies, which own and manage all forest land.

Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
