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. Article 88 (Amended)13 The Prime Minister may deliver a statement before either the Council of Deputies or the Consultative Council, or any of their competent committees pertinent to a matter within his competence. The Prime Minister may delegate any Minister to do so. The Council or Committee may discuss the statement and make notes 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 shall not come under the sway of any authority in his work in either Council or its committees. 12 13 Ibid. Ibid. 35
