A
BILL
To
Propose a Budget for the Month of December​

The people of DemocracyCraft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

b. This Act shall be enacted immediately after signing.
c. This Bill is authored by Representative ElainaThomas29 and has been co-sponsored by Representative RandomIntruder.

b. Commissions are included;
c. All government departments, the Legislative branch, and the Judicial branch will receive a monthly budget;
d. The judicial budget does not include court payouts and fines.
e. The Government is now forecasting fines no longer come out of the main “DCGovernment” balance and instead come out of the appropriate Department budget.

(6) Fiscal Accounts
All Departments shall have a minecraft account, which shall be apportioned as the monthly budget in its balance. The names of the accounts shall be:
DCGovernmentDOJ;
DCGovernmentDOC;
DCGovernmentDOE (pending creation, so Dept. Education budget will be appropriated in the Dept. Commerce account)
DCGovernmentDPA;
DCGovernmentDCT;
DCGovernmentDH;
DCGovernmentDOI;
DCGovernmentDS;
DCGovernmentLEG;
DCGovernmentJUD; and
DCGovernmentDLA

The Redmont Bar Association does not have an account but its expenditures will be tracked in the budget channel accordingly. The Department of Legal Affairs once it receives a minecraft account will have its amount appropriated there.

In the event a budget addition is approved, the correct money will be apportioned.
