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.

Description[?]:
| Big business is strip-mining our forests. This focus on short-term profits at the expense of our natural environment, native species, scientific potential, and national well being is a crime of monstrous proportions. This bill will ensure that our children will grow up knowing what a tree is, and that future medicines will not be destroyed before they can be uncovered from our forest wildlife. |
