The Excise Duty (Amendment) Bill, 2024
Sponsored By Hon. Matia Kasaija (Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development)
Committee: The Committee on Finance, Planning and Economic Development
Start
First Reading/Committee
Bill is still at First Reading, the first reading being the first stage of a Bill passage through the Floor of Parliament and is usually a formality, it takes place without debate, and the first reading of a Bill can occur anytime in a parliamentary session.
Second Reading
The Bill has now advanced to the second stage, the Second Reading. This is the first opportunity for MPs to engage in a democratic debate on the main principles of the Bill. It usually takes up to 45 days after the first reading, allowing ample time for thorough discussion. Once the second reading is complete, the Bill proceeds to the committee stage, where each clause (part) and any amendments (proposals for change) to the Bill may be debated, further emphasizing the democratic nature of the process.
Third Reading
Parliament has passed the Bill. The third reading is the final chance for the Members of Parliament to debate its contents. Here, the debate is usually short and limited to what is actually in the Bill rather than, as at the second reading, what might have been included.
