Legislative process

The legislative process used by the Standing Committee is almost identical like the Thringat. The main difference is, that all decisions undertaken require an absolute majority (41 members) instead of the majority of just those present to pass a bill into a "provisional law".

In order for the provisional law to become a permanent law, it must be approved on a session of the Thringat at large in a yes-or-no vote by a simple majority. If it is rejected, the provisional law is considered overwritten and is no longer in effect.

First reading

During the first reading, the proposal as worded by the proposing party (usually one of the bureaus, but it can also be one of the quorums or the Emperor himself) and discussed the wording of the proposal. The discussion serves to amend and update the bill in order to solve any problems with the bill. The first reading ends after the Standing Committee votes with a simple majority in favor of a new wording, or rejects all amendment proposals.

Second reading

The second reading consists of a simple discussion about the fruition of the proposal, and is followed by a simple yes-or-no vote, using absolute majority oéf 41 seats. If the bill is passed, it has to be marked with the Imperial seal in order to become a law. This seal is owned by the Emperor, giving him the right to veto any piece of legislation. Besides this, the members of the Imperial Quorum present in the Standing Committee have the right to veto a piece of legislation if at least 10 of them (of 15 total) vote against a proposal.
