Bill: Modern Life
Details
Submitted by[?]: Likaton Coalition of the Willing
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: December 2272
Description[?]:
| In light of Party research, we feel that our nation is shackling itself too harshly with stringent environmental laws, designed to prevent alleged ecological crisis. Science has shown many of these imminent apocolii to be grounded in little other than environmentalist rhetoric. This Bill aims to expand upon the successes of Likaton industry be removing some of these shackles. |
