Laws Voted by the 49th Legislature — Senate (2011-2015)
Summary — The record of laws voted by the Senate in the 49th legislature. 2012 carries the framework law on the orientation of the Haitian education system, the law on the formation, functioning and financing of political parties, the law governing the Office for the Protection of the Citizen, the law on persons with disabilities, the law on banks and other financial institutions, and the law on the use of Red Cross emblems.
Key Findings
- The document covers the legislative years 2011 to 2015 but records laws in one year only: six laws voted in 2012, and nothing entered for 2011, 2013, 2014 or 2015. Whether that reflects the Senate's output or the limits of the record is the first question a user should ask of it.
- Those six laws were voted inside seven weeks, between 8 February and 20 March 2012, which is a burst rather than a flow.
- The substance of the burst is institutional and rights-based rather than fiscal, and no finance law appears: the framework law on the orientation of the Haitian education system, the law on the formation, functioning and financing of political parties, the law governing the operation of the Office for the Protection of the Citizen, the law on persons with disabilities, the law on banks and other financial institutions, and the law on the use of the emblems and denominations of the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Crystal.
- Two of the six are the operative statutes for institutions the corpus tracks elsewhere: party financing, which the OCID study of the 2015-2017 cycle assesses in practice, and the banking law, which sets the frame for the BRH circulars held here.
- The absence of finance laws distinguishes this record sharply from the 48th legislature's lists, where annual and rectificative budget laws recur every year and account for roughly a fifth of the total.
