Summary/Abstract: The proceedings in relation to a bill which the Marshal of the Sejm has initiated under Part II, Chapter 4 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm cannot be shortened by beginning the second reading without referring the bill to a committee, as this would result in the omission of the obligatory phase of work of a Special Committee after the conclusion of the first reading at a sitting of the Sejm. In the proceedings in relation to such a bill, a motion to shorten the proceedings should be considered inadmissible, as it conflicts with the Standing Orders of the Sejm. The assessed motion to shorten the proceedings in relation to the bill amending the Labour Code and certain other acts (Sejm's paper no. 762) does not contain a justification and therefore fails to fulfil the requirement specified in Article 51 para. 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm.
