Summary/Abstract: In the opinion of the author, the principle of discontinunity in relation to “petition proceedings” does not apply to acts carried out as part of the work of the Committee on Petitions. This should also apply to those activities of the Commission that follow the choice of how to handle the petition, e.g. to prepare projects or desiderates as part of dealing with a given petition. Petitions that were considered in the previous term of office should be reconsidered, while the Commission in the current term is not bound by the arrangements made in the previous term of the Sejm. It is not permissible to renew the legislative initiative in the event of the draft submitted by the Committee on Petitions of the previous term was discontinued at the end of the term.
