Following the approval in the Chamber of Members and Deputies, the project that will allow the withdrawal of pension funds amid the Covid-19 pandemic will have its next procedure in the Senate, who have already accounted for this, dispatching the initiative to the Constitution Commission.
This committee, according to its chairman, Alfonso de Urresti convened session on Friday at 10.30. “We want to address it, we want to dispatch it in its entirety on Monday and be able to have it in the room next week to vote for it and turn it into law,” Senator PS said.
It is not the only bill the Senate received, as they also received the government’s package of measures to help the middle class, which was sent to the Finance Committee.
After going through the commission, the withdrawal bill will go to the Room, where senators will vote. A three-fifths (3/5) quorum is required, i.e. 26 votes to approve the reform. This vote in general should take place next week.
If approved in this instance, it returns to the Constitution commission, where you will see point by point the project, being able to make modifications. This procedure may take a week or two.
If approved with modifications, you will return to the Chamber of Deputies to review and vote on the changes. Here you will find yourself in the third constitutional procedure.
Finally, if accepted, it will be dispatched to the law. Otherwise, the project will go to a joint commission. In this part, the Government may decide to enact or veto it.
