National Council (Slovenia)
The Council may be regarded as an upper house within a distinctively incomplete bicameralism;[3] it has a legislative function as a corrective and oversight mechanism for the National Assembly, though it does not itself pass acts.The Council is officially nonpartisan, though national political parties exert an influence on the selection of local councilors.The National Council informally succeeded the latter two chambers, and is similarly geared toward the representation of local, economic, and occupational interests.Laws suspended by a Council veto can be reconfirmed by the Assembly, but an absolute majority of the chamber is required on second passage.The most notable use of the suspensive veto occurred on October 11th, 2022, when the Council voted to suspend a newly-passed law permitting same-sex marriage.
