Parliamentary Schedule Suggests Swift Passage of 'Lex Uber'

Michał Olech

Next Wednesday, two parliamentary committees will consider the government's draft amendment to the Road Transport Act, commonly referred to as 'Lex Uber', during the first reading. The following day, Thursday, at 2:15 PM, the second reading is scheduled to take place in the plenary hall.

Such rapid consideration of the government's proposal by the Sejm indicates a desire for a swift vote on the bill – theoretically, even on the same day, although this is not entirely certain, as a committee meeting should follow the second reading if amendments are proposed.

The voting block will occur on Thursday evening, with the next Sejm session scheduled for May 15-17. The government's bill was originally intended to come into effect from 2020, but the vacatio legis will likely be shortened.
