Bill: Infrastructure Reform Act 4209
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Alliance of Baltusia (DAB)
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: March 4210
Description[?]:
| Members of Congress, The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is set to reform infrastructure in Baltusia. This bill is the start of this reform. This bill ensures safety to private firms from the government (not de-regualtion), the organisation of a government managed fire department, the encouragement of nuchal power plants which will not only attract important investments but will also encourage the switch from non-renweable power plants to renewable power plants. This bill also creates a state owned TOC, which is necessary for Baltusian citizens to travel at a low-expense. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport asks the Congress to defend this bill in order to defend the interests of Baltusia and to kick-start the much needed infrastructure reform. Member of Congress, Wilson Thompson |
