Parliament will proceed to vote on two significant legislative measures today, with the ballot scheduled for 7:00 pm local time. The voting session will conclude the second day of debate on both the 22nd Constitutional Amendment Bill and the accompanying Judicature (Amendment) Bill.
Speaker Dr. Jagath Wickramaratne presented the Supreme Court's determination regarding the bills to Parliament on September 22, clearing the way for parliamentary consideration. The Supreme Court assessment is a procedural requirement for constitutional amendments in Sri Lanka's legislative framework.
The two bills have generated substantial parliamentary discussion during the two-day debate period. The constitutional amendment represents a significant legislative development, with the Judicature amendment addressing related judicial matters.
Parliamentarians and observers have closely tracked the progression of both measures through the legislative process. The evening vote will determine the outcome of the bills following formal parliamentary procedures.
