Default article 30 coverage plus constitutional questions

First this NOT about the content of the said article which will get the thread closed really fast but about the process...

according to the senate.gov.do website, this and all the new articles will have to have a second reading

yet all the papers AND a legislator that i interviewed seem to be reporting that it has passed and is now law.

i don't understand

of course, it is already hard for me to understand how a nation can make it so easy to "reform" the constution. In the States, it is a HUGE process - has to go to each state and must pass by a 2/3 majority - which is why we have so few amendments.

please enlighten me on the process here.
thanks
