Well mine is in the chamber ready to be added, I think mine is better... what do you think lol

I can simply add a section to repeal the law, Creative Aurentina would be able to expand it's budget than provided by that law, reduces the amount of people incharge, gives the government more a regulatory role on the body, also the CAA doesn't require huge descriptions of what 'arts' is and simply lets CA decide what it does with it's money as long as it's related.

I'd like to request that the Iron Party be added to the OP as it is an Official Party now.

Food Safety Act
Urgency: Medium | Author: Geilinor [NDP] | Category: Health
Co-sponsors:

---

Preamble
All food that is sold on the marketplace must also be verified to meet basic safety standards. It must be a duty of the government to ensure that all food consumed by the people is safe. A lack of food safety regulations can lead to the spread of preventable diseases and harm public health.


Section I - Definitions
1. "Adulterated food" shall be defined as food that bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health. Food shall also be deemed adulterated if it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or if it is otherwise unfit for food.
2. "Food additive" shall be defined as any substance the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in its becoming a component or otherwise affecting the characteristics of any food.

Section II – Center for Food Safety
1. The Department for Food Safety (DFS) shall be established as a department within the Ministry of Health.
2. The DFS shall be responsible for enforcing regulations on food sold within Aurentina, which shall be established by the Senate. It shall also manage physical, biological and chemical hazards in the food supply that may present a risk to public health.
3. The DFS shall ensure that all food imported into Aurentina follows safety standards.
4. The DFS has the authority to inspect any establishment in which food is manufactured, processed, or held, and shall be required to do so on a regular basis as determined by the Ministry of Health. A search warrant may be obtained to enter if the owner of an establishment refuses to allow DFS inspectors entry.
5. The DFS shall maintain a list of food additives that are safe to use.
6. The DFS shall create a Code of Hygiene for food handling businesses, including restaurants, to follow, in addition to the regulations set forth in this act.

Section III - Regulations
1. Food importers and distributors must register with the DFS.
2. Food which is deemed to be adulterated may be restricted from the marketplace.
3. The most cruel forms of animal slaughter shall be prohibited.
4. All food animals in slaughterhouses must be subject to ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection by trained staff. The welfare of food animals in slaughterhouses shall be maintained by preventing avoidable pain, suffering or excitement in the course of handling and waiting for slaughter. Diseased animals must be screened out for isolation slaughter.
5. Crops that are known to be diseased may not be sold.

Section V - Penalties
1. Knowingly selling food which results in serious bodily harm may be charged as a delict.
2. Knowingly selling food which results in death may be charged as a felony.
3. Mislabeling food for the purpose of misleading customers may be charged as fraud.

I'd suggest that this be somehow merged into Oneracon's Food Labelling and Allergen Safety Act, but this is a more general food safety bill. Any suggestions?
