SECTION 60

(1) The bill examined in Plenary sitting shall be the text submitted by the President of the Republic or the one forwarded by the President of the Senate. (2) The Finance Bill shall be examined in two stages. The first part of the Bill shall be debated and voted section after section. The second part of the Finance Bill may be debated in Parliament only after adoption of the first part. Expenditures shall be voted by chapter, after having been examined in two stages: all the programmes, on the one hand, and resources detailed by section and by sub-section, on the other hand. (3) The Private Members' bill or draft resolution examined in Plenary sitting shall be the text drawn up by the mover or movers thereof. However, where an amendment is moved on the entire Private Members' bill, the Plenary sitting shall deliberate on the text submitted by the Committee. The draft resolution examined in Plenary sitting shall be the text submitted by the Committee. (4) The Private Members' draft resolution examined in plenary sitting shall be the text adopted by the Committee. (5) After all the sections have been put to the vote, a vote shall be taken on the Government or Private Members' bill as a whole. In the case of a Government or Private Members' bill containing only one section, to which no additional section has been submitted, the vote on the single section shall constitute a vote on the text as a whole and no additional section may be submitted. (6) Before a vote is taken on the Government or Private Members' bill as a whole, Members may make brief statements on their votes for not more than 3 (three) minutes. The provisions of Section 55 above shall apply to such statements.
