pathways when
reviewing bills in Parliament:

Normal · Two Session Review Generalities are reviewed in the first session and details are discussed in the second.

Prioritized · One Session Review Both generalities and details are reviewed in a single session. Single-session bills are processed through 3 different mechanisms:

  • Level 1 · Urgent Reviewed by the relevant commission and presented to Parliament as a priority outside of the regular schedule of the commission.
  • Level 2 · Very Urgent Reviewed by Parliament within 24 hours (outside of its regular schedule).
  • Level 3 · Most Urgent The review must take place on the same day that the Parliament approves prioritization.
