The bill passed with six votes in favor, including from the Socialist-Federalist opposition group, while four members abstained. No votes were cast against the legislation. The approved text, previously endorsed by a permanent committee, raises the age requirement for practicing law in Morocco. Details regarding the specific age increase were not provided in the initial report. This legislation represents a significant reform to the regulation of the legal profession within the country, moving forward in the parliamentary process. The bill now advances for further consideration and potential enactment.
