Restrictions on parliamentary committee membership for disciplined MPs

The Sejm is changing its internal rules. MPs who receive disciplinary or procedural penalties will be barred from joining two key committees for 6 months. This applies to the Ethics Committee and the Regulatory, Parliamentary Affairs and Immunity Committee.
Key points
A penalized MP cannot run for the Ethics or Regulatory Committee for six months.
If an MP already sits on either committee and receives a penalty, they automatically lose their seat.
The rule covers resolutions and orders that were not appealed or were upheld on appeal.
The change aims to prevent situations where a penalized MP judges others' ethics.
