Bill: P.I. 4121 - Religious Freedom Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sosialmonarkisterne
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: August 4122
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, For long it appears that the state of Kazulia has had various religious laws, which in some way or another have put pressure on a variety of religions, as well as general people within our country. We wish to amend these laws, religious freedom is, and will always be, an integral part of freedom itself. This bill will be left up for debate, so it can be discussed thoroughly between parties. Gustav Arntoft, Chairman of Liberal-Demokratiske Parti. |
