Additional Legislation

The following piece of legislation should have been included in the original packet.  The tournament staff sincerely apologizes for its omission.  The bill will also be emailed directly to all schools registered for congress.

A Bill on Plastic Bottles and Cans

BE IT ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:

SECTION 1 Plastic Bottles and Cans’ prices will increase from 20 cents to 25 cents. This

extra price will be paid back to the customer if they return the container to shops intact.

SECTION 2 This practice, or at least the same kind of practice,  is already in effect in six

states, here stated: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachussetts, Michigan, New

York, Oregon, Vermont. Those states’ legislation will be modified to fit this bill.

SECTION 3 The bill first implies Plastic Bottles and Cans, to improve recycling and the

cleanliness of the streets. It can be modified in the future to adapt to possible needs of the nation

(recycling of other kinds of containers, for example).

SECTION 4 This bill will slowly take effect after its passage. The best would be in the next

six months.

SECTION 5 All laws in conflict with this legislation are hereby declared null and void.
