Bill: Child Benefit Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Federal Green Party (FGP)
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.
Voting deadline: April 3818
Description[?]:
The Reform Option believes that child benefit payments should go to all Solentians, regardless of their income levels. Many families who are right above the government-determined poverty level still have a lot of bills to pay and are scraping along. It does not make sense to punish them for making a little bit more than the determined maximum. And it it especially not fair for the children. |

Old value:: The state guarantees child benefit to families classified as low-income or poor.

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
