[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.

"So you wish to force us to build railways between our capitals?
Isn't this an overreach of power?"

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."
