Procedural Issues Committee Reviewed Findings on Information Submitted by Parliamentary Committees Regarding the Mandatory Attendance and Hearing of Public Officials

The Procedural Issues Committee reviewed the findings of its examination of information received from parliamentary committees concerning the mandatory attendance of public officials and the hearing of public officials at committee sittings.
According to the Chair of the Committee, Davit Matikashvili, during the reporting period—from 1 April to 30 June 2026—no parliamentary committee adopted a decision to summon a public official to attend a committee sitting. Likewise, no parliamentary faction requested the mandatory attendance of a public official at a committee sitting.
He further noted that, during the same period, none of the public officials referred to in Article 147(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament submitted a request to a parliamentary committee to be heard at a committee sitting.
The Procedural Issues Committee will submit the findings of its review to the Parliamentary Bureau and will also ensure that the information is published on the official website of the Parliament of Georgia.
At today's sitting, Committee members also approved amendments to the Charter of the Procedural Issues Committee.
According to Davit Matikashvili, the amendments were necessitated by the changes introduced to the Rules of Procedure at the conclusion of the Spring Session.
