3. Procedure in the House of Review

Initiation, First Reading, Second Reading, Committee and Third reading.

The procedures that were followed in the House of Origin are repeated in the House of Review.

Un-amended Bills

If the House of Review passes a Buill without any amendments, the Bill is returned to the House of Origin and then proceeds to the final stages.

Amended Bills

If the House of Review passes the Bill, but with amendments, the Bill is returned to the House of Origin for reconsideration.  The House of Origin may accept or reject the amendments.  If agreement cannot be reached between the Houses, the Government can either abandon the legislation or resolve the deadlock by calling a general election.
