Bill: Displays of Public Affection Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ducal Delegation
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: June 2205
Description[?]:
| Whatever our private views about how people behave in public, we have to acknowledge that Aldegar is an enormously diverse country with different attitudes in different local areas. In some places, to expect people to refrain from having sex in public is just too much, and trying to enforce laws against it wastes too much police time. In other areas, people are very conservative and will be offended by couples kissing each other a little too passionately for a little too long. The best solution is to leave these issues to local governments, which better reflect local cultural preferences than the central government. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
