MP Paulius Saudargas, who chaired the Seimas sitting on Thursday, said the second hearing would take place no later than in 15 days.
Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte says the budget vote will show whether lawmakers have confidence in her government, although that will not be a vote of no-confidence.
"I look at it as a budget vote, but a budget vote provides a very clear answer for me whether the government has the Seimas' support. This is not a vote of no-confidence in the government, because if I wanted to test confidence, I would come and ask the Seimas to vote," Simonyte told reporters at the Seimas on Thursday.
The budget adoption is one of the most important laws of the political season, she said, which is why the vote on it is important.
"If it happens so that the government-presented budget fails to receive the majority's support, then maybe the government has no majority support. There's a link, but I would not compare it that way. Just the consequences are very similar," Simonyte said.
Some opposition representatives say they will not support the bill if their proposals are not taken into account. A representative of the ruling coalition's partners says some spending could be increased without raising the deficit by taking additional funds from the additional funds allocated for energy compensation.
Gintautas Paluckas, a representative of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania's political group in the Seimas, says the group's main budget proposal is to raise people's income by raising the non-taxable income to the existing minimum monthly wage, instead of paying businesses compensation for high electricity prices.
The parliamentary Committee on Budget and Finance has rejected all MPs' proposals to allocate additional funds for various purposes from next year's budget.
The budget bill was earlier than usual this year and is also scheduled to be adopted earlier than usual, on November 22, rather than in the middle of December.
