Section14.The Monarch enacts acts by and with the advice and consent of the National Legislative Assembly.
Bills shall only be introduced by Members of the National Legislative Assembly numbering not less than twenty-five jointly, or the Council of Ministers, or the National Reform Assembly in accordance with section 31, paragraph 2. However, money bills shall only be introduced by the Council of Ministers.

A bill introduced by Members of the National Legislative Assembly or National Reform Assembly may, before the National Legislative Assembly adopts its principle, be taken by the Council of Ministers for its consideration first.
An organic act shall be enacted in accordance with the procedure provided in this section, but the bill of the organic act shall be introduced by the Council of Ministers or the person in charge of the execution of such organic act.
Section15.The bill of an act or organic act which has been approved by the National Legislative Assembly shall be brought and presented to [the Monarch] by the Prime Minister within twenty days counted from the day of his receipt of the bill of the act or organic act from the National Legislative Assembly, so that the Monarch would sign it, and once it has been published in the Royal Gazette, it shall become applicable as a law.
