Bill: Judicial and Police Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democracy 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[?]:
| This measure would allow local governments to form police departments, to work in tandem with the national police force at times but mostly to focus on local crimes. It would demilitarize the police thereby making our country more peaceful, would allow the police to only arrest crime suspects (as opposed to arresting anyone for any reason) and would democratize the judicial process by causing appeals to be reviewed by higher courts instead of a Minister of Justice. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
