Article 86
(Amended)12
In all cases where a draft law is approved, the President of the
Council of Deputies shall submit it within not more than two
weeks to the Prime Minister to present the draft law to the King.12
Article 87
Every draft law that regulates economic or financial matters, and
the Government requests its urgent consideration, shall first be
submitted to the Council of Deputies so that it takes a resolution on
it within fifteen days. When that period elapses, the draft law is
presented to the Consultative Council with the opinion of the
Council of Deputies if there is such an opinion, so that the
Consultative Council decides on it within a further period of fifteen
days. If the two Councils should disagree on the draft law in
question, the matter is referred to the National Assembly for a vote
on it within fifteen days. If the National Assembly does not reach a
resolution on it within that period, the King may issue the draft
law as a Decree that has the force of law.

therein.13
Article 89
a. A member of either the Consultative Council or the Council of
Deputies represents the people and cares for public interest. He
