Submitted by[?]: Socialist Working 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.

Description[?]:
| Powers of State Government is an important issue for Beluzians who feel it is vital that each state has the power to set many of its own laws in order that they can be better tailored towards the needs of that particular state. Whilst Nationalisation of key services is necessary, there are many things which can be left to local governments to decide. |
