Tehran, Dec 1, IRNA - Head of Iran?s Majlis Research Center Kazem Jalali said on Sunday the government of President Hassan Rouhani is to submit next year?s budget bill to Majlis by December 4.
Jalali made the announcement while speaking to reporters Sunday morning.
The next Iranian calendar year (1393) begins on March 21, 2014.
The MPs of the Majlis must first approve the generalities of the draft national budget bill, and then they will commence work on the examination of the details of the articles in parliamentary committees in a process that may continue for a few weeks.
The specialized committees will review lawmaker?s suggestions and give a report to Majlis Budget Integration Committee within 10 days.
Majlis Budget Integration Committee, which includes two members of the specialized committees, should discuss the budget bill within 15 days and provide its final report for delivering at the Majlis open session.
It takes a few days for lawmakers to discuss the final bill for approving it. The approved budget bill will be then sent to the Guardian Council, whose approval is needed for the bill to become a law.
