The douma will sit as the lower house, with the council as the upper house, and will have broad but restricted powers. It must meet by mid January 1906 and serve five years unless dissolved. It can consider laws, budgets, expropriation, railways, stock-company matters, and imperial decree submissions, but cannot alter fundamental administrative laws.
