The Executive Yuan submitted a reconsideration on the legislative reform bill to the Legislative Yuan for a vote. Despite efforts from both sides, the reconsideration was rejected with 62 votes in favor of maintaining the original resolutions and 51 votes against. This decision was a significant blow to the proposed changes in the Legislative Powers Exercise Act and the Criminal Code of the Republic of China. The bill had previously passed its third reading with amendments and included provisions such as habitual immediate responses to the President's annual report and imposing a maximum fine of NT$200,000 for contempt of parliament. The rejection prompted reactions from various parties in the parliament, with the Kuomintang chanting slogans supporting parliamentary reform. The entire process is governed by specific constitutional provisions outlining the procedures for reconsidering legislative decisions, underlining the importance of parliamentary oversight in Taiwan's democratic system.
