Summary/Abstract: The Marshal of the Sejm is not allowed to verify, whether an explanatory statement to a bill submitted by a group of citizens meets requirements specified in Articles 34 paras. 2 and 3 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. Besides, demanding enclosure – to the notification of the establishment of the Committee – of statements on accession to the legislative initiative committee and of a statement on selection of committee’s agent, is not based on rules of the Act of 24th June 1999 on Exercise of the Legislative Initiative by Citizens. Therefore the current practice of demanding the enclosure of the above documents cannot be continued in future.
