Summary
The agenda item concerned the second reading of Draft Act 340, the Act amending the Law on Substitute Enforcement and Penalty Payments and other acts, initiated by the Government of the Republic. The rapporteur for the draft act was Kristo Enn Vaga, a member of the National Defence Committee. The presentation revealed that the proceedings concerning the draft act had progressed consensually and without major disputes. The first reading of the draft act was concluded in December of last year, and no proposals were received from outside the leading committee by the deadline for submitting amendments.
The National Defence Committee itself submitted four amendments aimed at clarifying the draft act and postponing its entry into force. The leading committee approved these proposals consensually, also receiving the support of the initiator of the draft act, the Ministry of Defence. During the session, no questions were posed to the rapporteur and debates were not opened, which indicated broad political consensus regarding the content of the draft act. All four amendments were reviewed and fully adopted. Upon the motion of the leading committee, the second reading was concluded.
