The resolution of the Senate proposing the introduction of amendments to the statute adopted by the Sejm (or rejecting it in general) is transferred by the Marshal of the Sejm back to the committee which had formerly examined the given statute. A Senator-Rapporteur representing the Senate committee which had dealt with the statute in question may participate in the sittings of the Sejm committee. The latter prepares a report which submits to the Sejm motions concerning the adoption, partial or total, of the changes proposed by the Senate, or their rejection. A resolution of the Senate rejecting the statute or an amendment proposed in an earlier resolution of the Senate is considered accepted unless the Sejm rejects it by an absolute majority vote in the presence of at least half of the statutory number of Deputies.

The Sejm is not bound by any time limit in which it should form an opinion as to the position of the Senate.
