Bill: Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074
Details
Submitted by[?]: Proletariat Revolution Party
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: August 2076
Description[?]:
| Acknowledging that the government should adopt a policy that lies between laissez faire and complete control of the market, SLP hereby recommends that, in regards to policy, the government adopts this one. The services that this bill will permit the government to intervene in are those which provide hydro-electricity, water-purifying facilicities, and other similar elements that are crucial to the socio-economic infrastructure of the nation. Whereas the nation of Likatonia is a free market nation, the private sector is not restricted in these areas. The private sector, providing it adheres to national guidelines, may invest in the strategic industries. Private ownership of these industries is also permitted, provided that the privately owned industries follow the same rules and regulations as the public domain. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.
Current: The government acts as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services.
Proposed: Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership.

| Message | There was only in emergencies, full intervetions and none. I thought that in the case of hydro and water, there should be some government control. |

| Message | We would like to point out that the Likatonian government has a past commitment that must be violated in order to pass this: http://aiglesrv.no-ip.info:8080/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=4576 This doesn't deter us from supporting it, but it would be dishonest to fail to bring that up. |
| Date | 15:57:24, July 04, 2005 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | NCP - in this case, we're talking about important to the necessity of the public good. This bill won't encrouch on the other. This only helps support water facilities, hydro, transporation... We are allowing private ownership. |
| Date | 15:58:15, July 04, 2005 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | And other industries (even if they make products that are a necessities) won't be considered a strategic one. It has to be something for the entire public or part of public infrastructure. |
| Date | 16:28:17, July 04, 2005 CET | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | Alright. I understand what you mean now. |
| Date | 18:46:30, July 04, 2005 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | Do we have your support still? We're trying to keep this bill from conflicting with yours. We do it by only investing in basic infrastructure, while allowing private ownership and investment. |
| Date | 12:06:59, July 05, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | This isnt a subsidy, as such, but ownership, so it does not violate that bill. |
| Date | 22:07:46, July 05, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Strategic Industries Regulation Act of 2074 |
| Message | The Republican Party stands against socialism and always will, no matter how popular it may be. We will stand on principle and declare that state management and ownership of industry. |
