Table 19. Law-Making Process, 19

Step	Description
Step 1	Bill is initiated by legislators or Plenary of Legislative Commissions (PCL), the president of the republic, judicial organs, or popular initiatives.
Step 2	Text is provided to each legislator fifteen days prior to debate in Congress.
Step 3	Proposed bill is discussed in two debates on different days. After first debate, it may be returned to the originating commission, which must report on new observations to modify, alter, or change it.
Step 4	At second debate, observations may be presented only if supported by two-thirds of the legislators present.
Step 5	If the president has presented the proposed bill, he may intervene in a specially convened discussion without voting rights.
Step 6	On being approved by Congress or the PCL, proposed bill must be submitted to the president, who may approve or object to it. President may also approve it tacitly by allowing ten days to pass without vetoing it. President may object either totally or partially. If the objection is partial, the part not objected to must be adopted immediately. In that case, Congress may accept the partial objection, correct the bill accordingly, and resubmit it to the president. Congress may also insist on the original version of the proposed bill by a vote of two-thirds of its members and proceed to promulgate it.
Step 7	Final stage is promulgation, which requires publishing the law in Registro Oficial del Estado (Official Register of the State).
