Summary
The Riigikogu moved on to the 11th item on the agenda, which was the second reading of Draft Act 256, initiated by the Government of the Republic, concerning the amendment of § 111 of the Identity Documents Act. The report was presented by Hendrik Johannes Terras, Chairman of the Constitutional Committee.
Terras explained that the purpose of the draft act is to create an alternative option for identifying a person when applying for a return certificate (TPT) and a return permit (TPL). Under the current procedure, the applicant must personally visit an Estonian foreign representation or honorary consulate, but the new procedure allows for identification remotely via video link. The TPT or TPL is then delivered to the applicant via courier mail. The Constitutional Committee discussed the draft act on April 2 and found that there were no linguistic or legislative drafting remarks.
Since no amendments were submitted regarding the draft act and no debate was requested, the lead committee proposed concluding the second reading. It was also proposed that the final vote on the draft act be held on April 17. The second reading of Draft Act 256 was concluded.
