Additionally, the failure of Members of Parliament to attend parliamentary sittings, whether in plenary or in committee, is amply dealt with in the Parliament’s Rules of Procedures, in particular Articles 91 and 224. According to Article 91 (10), a Member of Parliament may miss plenary sittings or sessions if he/she has a good or valid reason for doing so, which include illness, birth, death or illness of a family member, or business trips. Meetings with state delegations visiting Georgia, or other visits to the Georgian Parliament also qualify as good/valid reasons for missing a sitting or session (Article 91 (11)).
