Summary/Abstract: In the author’s opinion, the following provisions (sections) of a bill project referred to committee should not become subjects of voting by the committee, but the committee should vote only on motions aimed at their modification (substantive and editorial amendments and motions for deletion of a provision). A different manner of work of the committee may lead to the deletion of a given provision, if the provision is not approved in voting, even in case of the lack of motion to delete it. The Sejm should decide upon legislative motions and legislative postulates included in the committee’s report on the bill, prepared in the form of a consolidated text.
