Article 85

Organic bills and proposals for organic laws shall be submitted to the deliberation of the Chamber of Representatives only after a period of ten days following their deposit with the Bureau of the Chamber and in accordance with the same procedure referred to in article 84. They shall be definitively adopted by an absolute majority of the members present of the said Chamber. Nevertheless, where it concerns an organic bill or proposal for an organic law relating to the Chamber of Councillors or concerning territorial collectivities, the vote shall take place by a majority of the members of the Chamber of Representatives. Organic laws relating to the Chamber of Councillors must be voted in the same terms by the two Chambers of Parliament. Organic laws may be promulgated only after the Constitutional Court has ruled on their conformity with the Constitution.
