Presentation on theme: Legislative branch in Norway
Main points Legislative branch in Norway is presented by modified (in 2009) unicameral Parliament called Storting. It is led by a presidium of a president and five vice presidents; since 2009 Dag Terje Andersen has been president.
Officially Storting is divided to 2 chambers: the Odelsting and the Lagting. The Storting, currently has 169 members. The members are elected from the 19 districts for 4 -year terms based on the system of party-list proportional representation. Question Hour
Procedure The legislative procedure goes through five stages 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Introducing the bill 1 st reading 2 nd reading 3 rd reading Monarch’s sign and promulgation Only all the stages are done, a bill becomes a Norwegian law
After bill’s introduction Parliament refers the bill to the relevant standing committee, where it will be subject for detailed consideration in the committee stage. The first reading takes place when parliament debates the recommendation from the committee, and will make a vote. If the bill is dismissed, the procedure ends. The second reading takes place at least three days after the first reading, in which parliament debates the bill again. A new vote is taken, and if successful, the bill is submitted to the King in Council of royal assent. If parliament comes to a different conclusion in the second reading, a third reading will be held at least three days later, repeating the debate and vote, and may adopt the amendments from the second reading or finally dismiss the bill. Once the bill has reached the King in Council, the bill must be signed by the monarch and countersigned by the prime minister. It then becomes Norwegian law from the date stated in the act or decided by the government.
