The adoption of a regulation by the committee requires a quorum of at least three members. Each regulation requires a majority vote of the members present. However, that majority must include the vote of at least one of the advocates designated pursuant to subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 140.2 and the vote of at least one of the stenographers designated pursuant to subparagraph 2 of the same paragraph.

The regulations shall be transmitted by the committee to the Office des professions, which shall submit its opinion to the Minister of Justice; the regulations shall be submitted to the Government, which, on the recommendation of the Minister, may approve them with or without amendments.

If the committee fails to make the regulations referred to in the first paragraph within the time fixed by the Minister of Justice, the Government shall make the regulations in the committee’s place and stead.
