2. No school in Atlasia receiving federal funds may explicitly promote insect consumption to students.

Section 3

1. Should any subnational or local government be found in violation of section 2.1, all federal transportation funding shall be stripped immediately until they are in compliance.

Section 4

1. Any person imprisoned by the government of Atlasia has the right to freedom of conscience and to freely exercise his religion. Accordingly, the following accommodations shall be offered to such imprisoned person, provided such accommodation is economically feasible, is based on a sincerely-held religious belief and does not demonstrably jeopardize the health or safety of prisoners or prison staff or facilitate actual crime. The actual abuse of an accommodation identified in this act may result in the limitation or suspension of such accommodation for the individual abuser provided such limitatiom or suspension does not amount to cruelly requiring a prisoner to violate a tenant of his faith as retaliation or punishment. Such suspension, denial based on particularized health or safety necessities, or reasonable heightened security screenings to ensure that an accommodation under this act is not being abused shall not be deemed a violation of a prisoner’s religious freedom.

2. Any person imprisoned by the government of Atlasia who has a sincerely held religious belief imposing dietary restrictions on such person shall be allowed to make such belief and restrictions known upon his imprisonment at any federal jail, prison, or correctional facility.

6. Any public college or university receiving federal funding that requires students living on campus to purchase a meal plan shall offer kosher, halal, and vegan options at each meal time. For purposes of this provision, vegan shall be considered to be kosher and halal.

Veto.

Out of interest is there a reason for the veto?

I generally think that how the GM system is currently set up generally works. I’m not opposed in any way for a future similar bill like this.
