Bill: Smoking-Property Rights for Businesses
Details
Submitted by[?]: Classical Liberal 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: March 4013
Description[?]:
| The Neo-Democratic Party believes privately owned businesses have the right to determine whether smoking is allowed on their premises. However, due to the known health risks associated with smoking, this bill requires that businesses that allow smoking provide a seperate, non-smoking area that effectively prevents smoke from its designated area. |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change Government policy towards smoking.
Old value:: Smoking is legal outdoors and in private homes and clubs, but illegal indoors in places of employment, with the exception of places that primarily serve liquor.
Current: Smoking is legal outdoors and in private homes and clubs, but illegal indoors in all places of employment.

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
