täisistung

A täisistung is a term used primarily in parliamentary or legislative contexts, particularly in Estonia, to denote a full session or plenary meeting of a parliament or a similar deliberative body. It signifies a meeting where all or a significant majority of the members are present and participating in the proceedings. During a täisistung, the body typically engages in its most important legislative activities, such as debating and voting on laws, approving budgets, and making major policy decisions.

The schedule and frequency of täisistungud are usually determined by the rules of procedure of the respective legislative body. These sessions are often public and are recorded for transparency and historical purposes. The agenda for a täisistung is typically set in advance, and it is the primary forum for official parliamentary business. The term emphasizes the completeness of the assembly, differentiating it from smaller committee meetings or special sessions that might involve only a subset of members or address a limited range of issues. The outcomes of decisions made during a täisistung carry the full weight and authority of the legislative body.
