The plan would allow both supporters of interim President Roberto Micheletti and ousted President Manuel Zelaya to consult whichever branch of government they wish to decide if Zelaya should be restored to office, negotiator Armando Aguilar told reporters.
Micheletti wants the decision to be made by the Supreme Court, the body that initially ordered Zelaya's arrest prior to his ouster on June 28. The court has said that Zelaya should not be able to return to office.
Zelaya has said that Congress should make the decision, even though he currently enjoys the support of only about one-fifth of the legislators.
It was not clear how the proposal would break the impasse, which the interim government previously has said would best be resolved by presidential elections scheduled for Nov. 29.
Aguilar did not elaborate and took no questions following his statement.
Several international governments including the United States have indicated that they would not accept the results of elections held by the interim government.
Micheletti's team called Zelaya's representatives back to the negotiating table Thursday to present the new offer.
