Parliament of Romania Senate

What Parliament of Romania Senate does

The Senate of Romania (Senatul României) is the upper chamber of the Romanian bicameral Parliament, re-established in 1990 after the fall of communism and constitutionally structured under the 1991 Constitution. It consists of 136 elected senators serving four-year terms; the current 2024-2028 legislature commenced on 2024-12-01. The Senate exercises legislative functions (examination and adoption of laws, budget approval, ratification of international treaties), parliamentary control of the executive (questions, interpellations, motions), and constitutional review proposals. It is headquartered in the Palatul Parlamentului on Calea 13 Septembrie nr. 1-3, sector 5, Bucharest.

The Senate operates a digital infrastructure led by the senat.ro website and the online.senat.ro portal, which provide an online legislative tracking system for bills and amendments, live and archived streaming of plenary sessions, official plenary transcripts (stenogramele ședințelor), committee and plenary agenda scheduling, and a public-facing documentation repository. Education and outreach products include the 'Senatul Copiilor' program (children's day at the Senate) and an internship program. Modernization is driven by the EU-funded POCA project (Programul Operațional Capacitate Administrativă), which targets digital solutions to expand administrative capacity.

The Senate is a publicly funded institution with no commercial revenue model. It is financed through the Romanian state budget, with senator indemnities established by Law 96/2006 and a flat-rate allocation for constituency office operations. Its "customers" are Romanian citizens (represented through legislative mandate), Romanian government bodies subject to parliamentary oversight, and international parliamentary partners (UIP, NATO PA, PACE, APUpM, OSCE, BSEC, the European Parliament, and bilateral friendship groups with more than 20 countries). The institution also maintains an active twinning relationship with the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova.
