Legal opinion on the procedure for adoption by the Legislative Committee of an opinion for the Marshal of the Sejm specified in Article 34 paragraph 8 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm

Abstracts

EN

The article provides an analysis of the procedure for adoption by the Legislative Committee of a resolution containing an opinion referred to in Article 34 paragraph 8 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm. It deals, in particular, with taking a decision whether a quorum is present and an assessment of the consequences of the meaning of the phrase “in the presence of at least half of the number of members of the Committee” for the validity of resolutions adopted by the Committee. The author claims that the said requirement determines the Committee’s capability of making legally binding decisions under Article 34 paragraph 8 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm (the procedure for adoption of a resolution finding a bill inadmissible under Polish law). The notion of “presence” contains all members of the Committee staying at the place where its meeting is held, irrespective of whether they participate in the vote or not. The requirement of presence of at least half of the number of members of the Committee should be referred to the total number of its members elected by the Sejm as it stands at the moment of election.
