“Almost the majority of the council’s meeting was devoted to studying the issue of introducing the legislative initiative of the president on amendments to the Constitution,” he told reporters.
According to the parliamentarian, it was decided to send legislative initiative to the committee on state building and legislation.
According to Volodin, the committee on Tuesday, January 21, will consider the relevant legislative initiative of the president.
He also said that an additional meeting of the State Duma Council will be held, which will consider the proposal of the relevant committee on the bill and determine the date of the first reading.

The package of amendments, including the exclusion of a clause on two consecutive terms for the president, provides for the approval of the Prime Minister by the State Duma, secures the regular indexation of pensions and reduces the number of judges in the Constitutional Court from 19 to 11.
