, some implementing acts required for the law to enter into force have yet to be passed, requiring the support of a majority of MPs. The conservative Pro Patria and Res Publica Union (IRL), which joined the Rõivas Government after the March 2015 elections, said that these acts should be passed in Parliament rather than by the cabinet, creating a dispute with the Reform Party and the Social Democrats. On November 25, 2015, Parliament rejected a motion to kill the implementing bill at its first reading, in a 41-42 vote. On December 10, the chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee announced that the committee would not finish work on the bill and asked Parliament to begin the second reading before December 17, before it adjourned on January 11. This meant that the "Registered Partnership Act" would take effect without implementing measures, causing a number of legal loopholes and problems. Further readings were scheduled for the end of January 2016.
