Bill: Religous dress code (3rd try)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
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: July 2210
Description[?]:
| After reviewing interesting ideas of other nations, HPP wanna create a dress code concerning employees in the state and for them who have a public function. They should no longer have the right to wear religous clothing. They represent the state and sould be totally neutral while doing their duty. As political independence is creved, as should religious independence. In all other cases, the choosing of clothes is completely voluntary, respecting other laws on this matter. |

Old value:: There are no laws regulating the wearing of religious clothing and the wearing of religious symbols.

| Message | "But a law saying that you should not do it while exercising your duty in a nonreligious and independent nation." The nation may be nonreligious, but we aren't. If there is a problem, the police can come arrest us and drag us out of the Chamber of the Republic. |

| Message | See you later CSP! ;) We will support this. Whilst we respect that the CSP is made up of religious people, we would point out that when carrying out Government responsibilities whoever is in control of whatever position in cabinet must think of the Country first. As such, religious motivations should not take precedent. In order to asway the public into believing this, then when carrying out Government business no religious parafinalia should be worn. When not involved in Government business, then any members of this house may wear anything they want. "It's just a statement that we would protest this bill for denying us basic religious freedoms." - You would lose no religious freedoms as you would still be religious, unless you require that crucifix to remind you or your religion? |

| Message | While this bill will not affect most members of the CSP, it will affect Catholic CSP members that may wish to wear rosary beads to remind them of penance. Furthermore, this bill undermines basic freedoms of Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, and even some of Hobrazia's native religions. |
