Colombo (LNW): The Online Safety Bill, along with its provisions, aligns with the country’s constitution and can proceed with a simple majority vote following specific amendments during the committee stage, the Supreme Court declared today (07).
The announcement of the Supreme Court’s decision that the proposed Online Safety Bill is not inconsistent with the Constitution was made by the Deputy Speaker in Parliament on Tuesday.
It was clarified that while certain clauses of the bill would require a special majority for passage, these clauses can be approved by a simple majority if they are modified during the committee stage.
