Step | Description |
Step 1 | Bill is initiated by legislators or Plenary
of Legislative Commissions (PCL), the president of the republic,
judicial organs, or popular initiatives. |
Step 2 | Text is provided to each legislator fifteen
days prior to debate in Congress. |
Step 3 | Proposed bill is discussed in two debates on
different days. After first debate, it may be returned to the
originating commission, which must report on new observations to
modify, alter, or change it. |
Step 4 | At second debate, observations may be
presented only if supported by two-thirds of the legislators
present. |
Step 5 | If the president has presented the proposed
bill, he may intervene in a specially convened discussion without
voting rights. |
Step 6 | On being approved by Congress or the PCL,
proposed bill must be submitted to the president, who may approve
or object to it. President may also approve it tacitly by allowing
ten days to pass without vetoing it. President may object either
totally or partially. If the objection is partial, the part not
objected to must be adopted immediately. In that case, Congress may
accept the partial objection, correct the bill accordingly, and
resubmit it to the president. Congress may also insist on the
original version of the proposed bill by a vote of two-thirds of
its members and proceed to promulgate it. |
Step 7 | Final stage is promulgation, which requires
publishing the law in Registro Oficial del Estado
(Official Register of the State).
