Princesses Sign ‘SAFE’ Act into Law: Aims to Boost Job Creation and Economic Stability

• Newly enacted declaration set to provide financial support to new businesses, yet critics voice concerns over potential for abuse.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have signed a new declaration known as the ‘SAFE Act’, proposed by noble Upper Crust. This legislation aims to stimulate job creation and strengthen the value of the Bit, according to a joint statement released by the princesses.

As per the released text from the initial proposal, the Royal Treasury has been instructed to prepare a form that, when completed and approved, will grant up to 10,000₿ to businesses established within the past 18 months. This measure is intended to incentivize growth and economic dynamism across Equestria.

However, despite the well-intentioned nature of the ‘SAFE’ Act, critics have voiced concerns over potential misuse of this system. Critics fear this could encourage the creation of ‘shell’ companies or entities established solely to access the grant money.

The Princesses, however, have stated that robust checks and balances will be put in place to prevent such abuses. These include rigorous eligibility criteria and auditing measures to ensure businesses applying for these grants are operating in good faith.

Despite the debate, the ‘SAFE’ Act is now law and expected to come into effect within the next two weeks. It remains to be seen how this will affect Equestria’s business landscape and whether it will successfully drive economic recovery as intended.
