Pass Seems pretty good. Couple quick pointers you may wish to edit before Winter/Spring Conference, though - line 24 suggests taxes are the only method of raising funding for these laws. Tariffs, bonds, etc. may also be used as a way to raise revenue for this program, but since it's not a binding clause, it doesn't really matter much. Also, citations are not mandatory. That being said, they're great to have, but you don't have to worry about them if you don't want. |
