7 A money bill under paragraph two means a bill dealing with the imposition, repeal, reduction, alteration, modification, remission or regulation of taxes or duties, the allocation, receipt, custody, or payment of State funds, or the transfer of expenditure estimates of the State, the raising of loans, the guarantee or redemption of loans, or any binding of State’s properties, or currency. In case of doubt as to whether a bill introduced to the National Legislative Assembly is a money bill, it shall be the power of the President of the National Legislative Assembly to make a decision thereon. A bill introduced by the members of the National Legislative Assembly or the National Reform Council may be taken by the Council of Ministers for consideration prior to the adoption of the principle by the National Legislative Assembly. An Organic Act may be enacted according to the procedure prescribed in this section, but the introduction of an organic law bill shall be made by the Council of Ministers or a person having charge and control of the execution of that Organic Act. Section 15. Upon approval of a bill or an organic law bill by the National Legislative Assembly, the Prime Minister shall respectfully present it to the King for His Royal Signature within twenty days from the date the bill or organic law bill is received from the National Legislative Assembly, and the bill or organic law bill shall come into force as an Act or Organic Act upon its publication in the Government Gazette. If the King withholds His Royal Assent to any bill or organic law bill and either return it to the National Legislative Assembly or does not return it within ninety days, the National Legislative Assembly must reconsider such bill or organic law bill. If the National Legislative Assembly resolves to reaffirm the bill or organic law bill with the votes of not less than two-thirds of the total number of existing members, the Prime Minister shall respectfully present such bill to the King for His Royal Signature once again. If the King does not sign and return the bill within thirty days, the Prime Minister shall cause the bill or organic law bill to be promulgated as an Act or Organic Act in the Government Gazette as if the King had signed it. Section 16. At a sitting of the National Legislative Assembly, every member of the National Legislative Assembly has the right to interpellate a Minister on any matter within the scope of his or her duties, but the Minister has the right to DISCLAIMER: TRANSLATED BY THE LEGAL OPINION AND TRANSLATION SECTION OF THE FOREIGN LAW BUREAU FOR EDUCATIONAL/COMPREHENSION PURPOSES AND CONTAINS NO LEGAL AUTHORITY. THE OFFICE OF THE COUNCIL OF STATE SHALL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LIABILITIES ARISING FROM THE USE AND/OR REFERENCE OF THIS TEXT. THE ORIGINAL THAI TEXT AS FORMALLY ADOPTED AND PUBLISHED SHALL IN ALL EVENTS REMAIN THE SOLE AUTHORITY HAVING LEGAL FORCE.
