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: April 4457
Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, As the party of Saint Jeanna de Tugart, we are passionately committed to upholding Alduria as a Hosian nation founded on Hosian values. However, the current religious laws are far too draconian, denying our citizens their basic freedoms. If religion is to be truly embraced, then it needs to be embraced freely and consciously. You cannot convert a person to true religion through the use of force. Charles de Tugart Chairman of the Canrillaise Parti National |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
