Bill: EB-IV

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.

Description[?]:
| Federalism... To be continued... (Local curfews to be decided by local governments on declaration of state of emergency) (If there was a "national anthem to be decided on by the schools themselves" option, I'd go for that, but I can only see forcing it upon the children as a recipe for dissent and bitterness.) |
