SDLP proposes the Kundrati Rights and Disability Act; Building up the slow foundations of welfare.

June 12th, 5674

One of the key aspects of the current Red-Blue Coalition was working towards the establishment of a welfare state. While that's easker the said than done given the economic state of the country, this hasn't stopped the SDLP from pushing forward with various SDLP members of the Legislature proposing the Kundrati Rights and Disability Act, an act which would look to outline specific rights and protections for disabled Kundratijians across the country if passed.
The exact specifics of the KRDA have been shared with the puvlic and if passed would do the following; Fully and legally recognize the existence of disabilities (physical, phycological, neurological, intellectual, so on and so forth), prohibit any discrimination against disabled Kundratijians in healthcare, housing, education, employment, social services, etc etc, as well as require reasonable accomodations in all public spaces, government buildings, and public transportation. Furthermore, the KRDA would push for National Accessibility Standards across the country, and as a compromise, tax credits for businesses who employ disabled Kundratijians. Alongside that, state paid procurement for disability vitals (such as wheelchairs and hearing aids). And for Kundratijians completely incapable of living on their own or providing for their own, they would receive direct welfare payments to ensure they don't fall into poverty.
The biggest criticism of the KRDA has been how it would be paid for, and the SDLP has proposed progressive taxation, and seizing assets from former oligarchs to pay for the KRDA. While SDLP lawmakers are optimistic that the KRDA can pass and successfully be enacted, it's anyone's guess on if it'll pass. Even if the SDLP and KPP share a coalition, anything can happen. Whatever the case, if the KRDA passes, it would mark the first step to building up the welfare system of Kundrati.
