The first reading of the Bill that was due to be deliberated as the only item on the agenda at today’s sitting of the Riigikogu was cancelled due to the absence of the presenter.

The first reading of the Bill on Amendments to the Public Holidays and Days of National Importance Act (453 SE), initiated by the Estonian Conservative People’s Party Group, was scheduled for the sitting. It is intended to include Easter Monday among public holidays. In addition, the Bill is intended to provide giving additional days of rest for the national day and public holidays that fall on a weekend.

The Riigikogu Rules of Procedure and Internal Rules Act provides that, where the presenter is not present at the deliberation of an item, the chair of the sitting does not open the deliberation of the agenda item, and the deliberation of the draft Resolution or Bill is deferred.
