Bill: Civil Defense Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM Populist Social Democrats
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: May 2340
Description[?]:
| Whereas, We certainly praise the ARLP's defense bill that will allow for the nation to better deter attacks by adversaries, but Whereas, It does leave out on key provision, that of Civil Defense to protect our population if we are, nevertheless attacked, and Whereas, we believe that the safety of the population should be the very first priority, We would like the government to ensure shelters exist throughout the nation, in the unfortunate case in which they are needed, by requiring all public buildings to feature provisions for civil defense, setting aside half or more of the space for private citizens. Furthermore, since we soon shall have defense industries again, and Whereas, it makes no sense to refuse exports of arms in all cases, although It does make sense that there be some control over such sales so as to minimize the possibility that we will export arms that shall later be used against us, We also hereby propose that the government shall, on a case by case basis, be empowered to allow or refuse arms sales. |
