Article 20. Consideration by the Parliament of the Republic of the objections of the President of the Republic of the Constitutional Law on the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the status of its Deputies

     1. Repeated discussion and voting on laws or articles of law that have raised objections from the President of the Republic shall be held within one month, which begins on the day the objections were sent and ends on the corresponding day (day) of the following month. If the deadline falls on a month that does not have a corresponding date, the deadline expires on the last day of that month. The monthly period is interrupted if it does not coincide in time with the session period of the Parliament established by paragraph 3 of Article 59 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 4 of Article 59 and paragraph 2 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

     Failure to comply with this deadline means accepting the President's objections.

     2. The law or its articles returned with the objections of the President of the Republic, after the conclusion has been drawn up by the relevant Standing committee of the Mazhilis, are submitted to the plenary session of the Mazhilis for decision-making by the Chamber.

     If the Mazhilis does not overcome the President's objections following the results of the vote, then further consideration of the President's objections by the Chambers of Parliament is terminated and the law is considered to have been rejected or adopted in the wording proposed by the President.

     If the Mazhilis, by a two-thirds majority of the total number of deputies of the Chamber, overcomes the President's objections, the law with the President's objections is submitted to the Senate for further consideration.

     After the conclusion has been drawn up by the relevant Standing Committee of the Senate, the law or its articles with the objections of the Head of State are submitted to the plenary session of the Senate. If the Senate does not overcome the President's objections following the vote, the law is considered to have been rejected or adopted in the wording proposed by the President.

     If the Senate, by a two-thirds majority of the total number of deputies of the Chamber, overcomes the objections of the President, then the objections of the President are considered to have been overcome by law. In this case, the law or, accordingly, its articles are considered adopted in the wording in which it was adopted by Parliament for the first time, and the President signs this law within one month from the date of its submission for signature.

     3. During the consideration of objections in the Mazhilis, the President of the Republic has the right, taking into account the proposals of deputies, to amend the wording of the law proposed by him in the objections as a whole or its corresponding individual articles.

     4. When the law or its individual articles are discussed and voted on again at meetings of the Chambers of Parliament, voting is conducted on the law as a whole, if the President's objections were caused by the law as a whole, or on articles that caused objections by the President of the Republic.

     5. If the objections of the President of the Republic have been submitted to the constitutional laws adopted by the Parliament, the Parliament, within one month from the date of sending the objections at a joint session of the Chambers, shall re-discuss and vote on the constitutional laws or articles of the constitutional law that have raised objections from the President of the Republic. Failure to comply with this deadline means accepting the President's objections. If the Parliament, by a three-quarters majority of the total number of deputies of each Chamber, overcomes the objections of the President, the President signs the constitutional law within one month. If the President's objections are not overcome, the constitutional law is considered to have been rejected or adopted in the wording proposed by the President.
