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 3985
Description[?]:
| Please support these changes of law because it is vital to protect our religious traditional values. If you disagree with most of them in case of that event occurs, is there at least one or two that you wouldn't mind to be implemented then please debate and let us know. I will then remove the articles we do not want but my prefered option is to allow all these articles to be passed as law and must be enacted upon the Baltusians |
