Commission Working
Overtime To Have The Ley
de Tránsito Approved
Next Week
The head of the Partido
Liberación Nacional (PLN)
legislators, Óscar Núñez,
assures that his
members, who hold a
majority in the
Legislative Assembly,
are ready to vote in
favour of the Ley de
Tránsito (Traffic Law)
reforms which is
expected to be ready for
first debate next week.
The Comisión de Asuntos
Jurídicos has been
working overtime,
holding morning sessions
during this week, to
tweak bill to reduce or
eliminate the number of
motions.
The reform is expected
to begin first debate on
Tuesday.
"It would be absurd not
to vote on the Ley de
Tránsito next week. The
first debate is for
legislators to express
their sympathies or
discontent for the bill,
but there is nothing to
add, because it has been
submitted to all the
legislative processes.
It would be demagogic if
by Thursday we do not
have the final approval
to the bill", said Núñez.
The reforms to the Ley
de Tránsito has been in
the process for more
than two years and has
been hailed and
criticized.
"If anyone presents a
series of motions on the
floor it is because they
want to delay the
process", added Núñez.
For her part, Lorena
Vásquez, head of the
Partido Unidad Social
Cristiana legislative
group, has asked her
fellow legislators not
to look for excuses to
prolong the approval.
Vásquez considers
untimely motions
regarding taxi plates
and changes to the
vehicular revision,
saying that these and
such other items have
nothing to do with the
traffic law reforms.
Luis Barrantes, head of
the Movimiento
Libertario legislators,
denied that his party is
obstructing the process
and blames the
government for the slow
process by not
presenting the bill,
putting other items on
the legislative agenda
ahead of the traffic
law.
