Bill: Energy and Environment Act 4382 (Liberty)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty 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: October 4382
Description[?]:
| Liberty would like to revisit some proposals outlined in Freedom's legislative agenda bill and expand their environmental program with a few additional proposals. Most proposals are self-explanatory however of particular note is the whaling and gm crop research. We feel both whaling and gm crop research might be necessary for scientific reasons at a later date to study the health, viability and sustainability of each. To not allow even research would set our knowledge back a long way. |
