Romania may toughen its laws about witches

The draft bill has just started its way through Parliament in Romania, where witchcraft has been part of its culture for centuries.
On Jan. 1, Romania changed its labor laws to officially recognize witchcraft as a profession, angering some witches.
Vasile Bleotu, a Social Democrats lawmaker, said Tuesday that the Senate passed the draft legislation last week but it still must be approved by a financial and labor committee and Romania’s Chamber of Deputies.
It also would require witches to provide their customers with receipts and bar them from practicing near schools and churches.
