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: January 2249
Description[?]:
| Whereas: Private 'gated communities' for wealthy citizens can exist, with their own law enforcement. Whereas: No curfews are legal within the Free Republic, regardless of whether the nation is in a state of emergency, i.e. within a state of war. Therefore, should this bill pass into law, in the interests in uniform and equal policing, 'gated communities' shall become illegal and shall be placed under proper police jurisdiction. Local governments may set a curfew if a state of emergency is delcared, i.e. for the safety of Jelbanian citizens, not for their control. THESE CURFEWS shall be imposed no earlier than 7PM and lifted no later than 7AM, HOWEVER the President and/or the Government may alter these times dependant upon the rules laid out in the Constitution of the Free Republic of Jelbania regarding a 'State of Emergency'. |

| Message | Gated communities really aren't a good idea, and curfews IN A TIME OF WAR really, really are. Although we suppose letting vast numbers of people roam the streets during air raids is a good idea. *blank faces from the DLP benches* |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
