According to Article 82 of the Albanian Constitution,

“1. The proposal of laws, when this is the case, must always be accompanied by a report that justifies the financial expenses for its implementation.

 2. No non-governmental draft law that brings about an increase in the expenses of the state budget or diminishes income can be approved without taking the opinion of the Council of Ministers, which must be given within 30 days from the date of receiving the draft law.

 3. If the Council of Ministers does not give an answer within the above term, the draft law passes for review according to the normal procedure.”
