The state of New York, in U.S.A., is in ways to approve a law project that proíbe the store of vender violent or indecent games the minor ones. The text of the legislative project, however, is vacant excessively and the law, in case that approved, could be interpreted of excessively severe form for the ultraconservative state authorities.
According to site specialized in Gamespot games, the project of state law A8696 was presented in the last week of May and in few days it was voted and approved in the Congress of New York. The text also foresees a double etária classification in the products, made for two different institutions. The consoles also are white of the legislation proposal and alone they could be vendidos in case that they have control devices so that the parents can decide the level of “impropriety” the one that its children could be displayed. “The problem is that this project of law is very vacant”, says Bo Anderson, president of the EMA (Entertainment Merchants Association, an association of storekeepers of the state”. The A8696 proposal takes for base mannering standards of violence and indecency of the real world and uses them, of maken a mistake form, in the ficcional and fantasioso context of the videogames, where the standards of the real world do not have value some”. Anderson affirms that, as the text inexact and is very opened, store and exactly selling they could be imprisoned and processed without knowing which game of its catalogue he would have been considered offensive. The proper state senators had made comments regarding the unconstitutionality of the proposal but, exactly thus, approve-in. The law project is part of the efforts of the governor Eliot Spitzer in fulfilling its promises of campaign - between them, to protect the children of the perigos presumptions of the violent or indecent games, according to substance of the site Game Politics. The referring governmental strategy to the subject can be chore, in English, through the dtmurl.com/ap8 shortcut. Using to advantage I try it and the positive repercussion of this legislative project, another bill was introduced by the state Senate (S5941) enclosing the same substance. As it is known, a project of law (bill, in English) in the United States can originate in the Chamber of the Representatives or the Senate. If its origin will be only one of the two chambers, the project will have first to be approved by the other for, only then, to go to the President of the Republic for veto or final approval. Similar procedure if gives in the state scope, the case, of the state of New York, where the chamber low, known as New York Assembly, and the senate exist, called New York Senate. In the sphere of the state, it fits to the governor to approve or to veto a legislative project, transforming it or not into state law. In accordance with another substance in the site Gamespot, similar, restrictive bills the games, had been directed in the American states of Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota and Michigan. However, all had been defeated in legislative battles, not receiving approval. Such fact, however, did not intimidate the legislators of the state of New York, whom if they had shown made use to stop the hard legal war that certainly will supervene. The two legislative chambers of New York already had approved restrictive emendations the games during the month of May, being all to the wait of the final approval for Spitzer governor. According to original legislative texts, in what it refers to to the validity, the A8696 proposal, as soon as will be approved, will have to enter immediately in vigor, being that first and the second sections of the same one will still wait 120 days counted from the date of its approval to invigorate, to the step that the third section alone will have effect in the first day of September of 2009. How much to the proposal senatorial S5941, this will enter in vigor 120 days after governmental approval.
