Bill: State of Emergency Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM Populist Social Democrats
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 2342
Description[?]:
| Whereas, States of Emergency do exist, such as after natural disasters or terrorism, that can reasonably result in the need for a local government to declare a temporary curfew, We hereby propose that, in cases where the local government requests a State of Emergency be declared and the national government agrees, that the local government be permitted to impose a curfew for the period of time that the state of emergency exists. If this time is extended beyond two weeks, continuing it shall also require a court order, which must be regained every additional week and is subject to appeal. |

| Message | This is unecessary. There is no current national state of emergency. If there was it is THEN that we consider a law like this. |
| Date | 21:18:00, January 08, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the State of Emergency Act |
| Message | In the case of a state of emergency, we would not have nine months to get a law like this passed through the legislature in time. |
