At a Kurultai session, members adopted new rules of procedure for the unicameral Parliament. The procedure for considering bills has been revised, introducing a three-stage model. At the first reading, lawmakers will discuss the bill’s key provisions, goals, and objectives. The second reading will focus on the amendments submitted. The third reading will address any legal inconsistencies, with the bill undergoing final revision to ensure its compliance with the Constitution and eliminate legal gaps. The ratification of international treaties will take place in two readings. Notably, the draft three-year national budget has already been submitted to the Kurultai for consideration.
«An important part of the rules of procedure concerns the Kurultai’s
interaction with the Constitutional Court, the Government, and the Kazakhstan
Khalyk Kenesi. This includes procedures for considering matters provided for by
the Constitution and laws. Hearings are to be held on the most important issues
within the competence of the Kurultai. One of the key mechanisms of
parliamentary oversight is government hour. During these sessions, members hear
a report from a representative of the Government,» noted Snezhanna Imasheva, member of the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
