How does the Council of States play a role in approving a Proclamation if the House of the People has not yet passed a resolution on it?
If a Proclamation is issued when the House of the People is dissolved or during the period of two months, and the Council of States has passed a resolution approving it but the House of the People has not yet passed a resolution on it, the Proclamation will cease to operate at the expiration of thirty days from the date on which the House of the People first sits after its reconstitution. However, if the House of the People passes a resolution approving the Proclamation within that thirty-day period, the Proclamation will continue to operate for six months from the date it was issued, and this process can be repeated until the Proclamation has been in force for a maximum of three years. The Council of States plays a role in initiating the approval process for such a Proclamation when the House of the People is not yet able to pass a resolution on it.
