Torrisi added that voting on the amendments would start on Monday at 4:00 pm.
The bill, which has been cleared by the Lower House, is staunchly opposed by several opposition groups, above all the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
The M5S claims that the bill is specifically designed to prevent the party from winning next year’s general election.
The party was furious that the bill was pushed through the House with the help of three confidence votes.
The confidence tool, which limits lawmakers’ ability to change a bill or hold it up, may be used again in the Upper House, where the numbers are even tighter.
