| [BILL-IC] Interstate Travel Act | |

| [BILL-IC] Interstate Travel Act | |
| Recognizing That each state, in its own sovereignty, has been, | |
| and is, responsible for the construction of infrastructure in | |
| the form of intrastate transportation, | |
| Realizing That this form is inefficient for interstate travel | |
| and trade, and can lead to isolation of states due to their | |
| location and/or economic status, | |
| Also Realizing That due to the isolation of states, travel and | |
| commerce is incredibly limited, thereby prohibiting the movement | |
| of citizens, | |
| Understanding That current transportation systems include travel | |
| by air, travel by sea, and travel by road, and that the safe | |
| movement of citizens, goods, and resources can be affected by | |
| the status of roads, ports, and airports, | |
| Congress Hereby Mandates The establishment of a set of | |
| standards, systems, and Personnel in the form of the Interstate | |
| Travel System to bring together each of the current, and future, | |
| states. | |
| Under the Interstate Travel Act, the SOI is tasked with the | |
| maintenance, finance, and construction of highways, airports, | |
| railways, and sea ports connecting the NCSA. The SOI is | |
| responsible for the organization of surveying teams for | |
| construction, the management of the budget for the activity, and | |
| management of construction teams. | |
| Section I The NCSA shall create a budget for the maintenance, | |
| construction, surveying, planning, and the financing of | |
| personnel for the above mentioned programs. The budget shall be | |
| large enough to maintain all of the Intraregional highways, | |
| railways, sea ports, and airports that the NCSA constructs, as | |
| well as hold for emergency procedures. | |
| ----------Article I: The NCSA shall be responsible for the | |
| maintenance of every single program in the individual state, as | |
| well as in unclaimed territory. Should a state choose to let the | |
| government finance the programs, the NCSA government shall | |
| conduct a tax of 1.5% of the total income derived from the | |
| benefits of the program, to be calculated every month. | |
| ----------Article II: A state can choose to finance the program | |
| in its state, and may bypass the taxation of income from the | |
| benefits of the programs. | |
| Section II The NCSA shall be responsible for the protection of | |
| all systems located in unclaimed territory. This protection | |
| shall start during planning, and shall continue until the land | |
| is claimed. | |
| ----------Article I: During times of war with foreign powers, | |
| all systems shall be protected by the NCSA military, until such | |
| a time as the threat of damage, death, or injury is nonexistent. | |
| ----------Article II: During times of war between states, the | |
| system inside the state shall be shut down, and transportation | |
| re routed to avoid injury, damage, death, and to allow the state | |
| to conduct defensive measures. | |
| Section III The planning, surveying, and construction of each | |
| system is to be conducted immediately after approval of the | |
| bill, and shall connect every state in some form. | |
| ----------Article I: Three large sea ports, one on the Alaskan | |
| Coast, one on the West Coast, and one on the East Coast, are to | |
| be constructed to facilitate trade, and the movement of citizens | |
| to Alaska and Hawaii. | |
| ----------Article II: In every state, a highway shall connect | |
| the Capital to other state�s capitals. This system shall be done | |
| everywhere, including in the white areas. | |
| ----------Article III: A railway system shall be constructed to | |
| connect the capitals of states together in a direct, and | |
| orderly, fashion. It shall also connect one end of the NCSA with | |
| the other in a direct route. | |
| ----------Article IV: In each state�s Capital, an airport that | |
| can house light commercial freight, and transcontinental | |
| passenger aircraft, shall be constructed. The airport shall | |
| connect the states together in a direct line by air. | |

| Rep. Oskar von Fallersleben: "And if states do not want expanded | |
| highways, airports, or seaports? Frijstaat has an effective | |
| transportation system as is, and does not wish to see its | |
| forests mowed down to create superhighways through the | |
| countryside. If states decide to sacrifice their natural beauty | |
| for miles of asphalt, let them do so, but Frijstaat wants no | |
| part." | |

| "No this is a bill to regulate interstate commerce which is not | |
| an overreach of power, it just makes sure a state is connected | |
| to every other state by routes that aren't blocked by other | |
| states, or white areas. At the present moment you cannot set up | |
| roads to another state unless you border them or have a state in | |
| between you that will allow roads with both nations. Making over | |
| land trade almost impossible." | |

| Occ. Should we not wait for the speaker to open up question time | |
| and acknowledge the second. This is what the Reina Suprema | |
| Celestiana was suggesting with their bill and what we use to do | |
| before we lost the formal procedure. | |

| OOC: Well, my bill has yet to be fully completed mainly due to | |
| my lack of time to sit down and write. Commonly, debate is | |
| automatic after someone seconds. I have don't recall the Speaker | |
| ever opening debate. | |

| "Cor'Therma will greatly benefit from interstate trade. We had | |
| issues trading with our Comrades in the center of the States. | |
| Within the Sozialistischen Pakt we already agreed to hold a Port | |
| within Cor'Therma's lands. We had an ideal landmass perfect for | |
| port conditions. Cor'Therma has agreed to maintain the port by | |
| clearing ice chunks that may impair the trade. Having a neutral | |
| location that is owned by Federal land will allow | |
| Sozialistischen Pakt States to safely trade with others without | |
| fear of blockade. We agree to fund the maintenance of the | |
| Alaskan areas." | |
| OOC: Highways and Railroads may be hard due to being in Alaska. | |
| Basically we have the Port A in Cor'Therma that then sends goods | |
| to Federal Port B that is neutral. We'll set up highways and | |
| railroads to connect our Port to the Neutral Port. Those | |
| highways and railroads will span across Alaska to interconnect | |
| everyone. (some people don't have ports) | |

| Even if you don't want highways (You should) railways should | |
| definitely be built. They are by far the most efficient method | |
| of transportation. And for airports, does that mean we are doing | |
| airport codes? | |

| "Congress cannot force a state to do build anything it does not | |
| wish to. There is only one provision in the Constitution that | |
| regulates trade, and that is about embargoes and excessive | |
| tariffs. States do not have the right to deny free movement of | |
| citizens, but they do have the sovereign right to manage their | |
| own roads and airports without governmental interference." | |
