National Legislation Program

The National Legislation Program (Program Legislasi Nasional / Prolegnas) for the 2010 - 2014 parliamentary period has been issued. There are 247 bills listed for the five-year period, and 55 of these are set out for enactment in 2010. The total number of bills is less than the 284 that were confirmed for the previous parliamentary period (2004 - 2009).

 

It is highly unlikely that the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat / DPR) will complete the prolegnas. The reality is that new bills that are not part of the prolegnas can be given priority where that bill is deemed to be critical to the governance of the nation. Nevertheless, the 55 bills that are set out for 2010 are an ambitious target that will challenge the DPR and the individual members’ respective legislative abilities. Yet, it must be noted that some factions of the DPR are already suggesting that the target is too ambitious, and if the DPR manages to pass 30% of the bills on the 2010 list then this would be an achievement.

 

The prolegnas also includes five cumulative lists of bills. These cumulative lists are bills that are prioritized as a result of international agreements, court decisions, budget needs, or interim laws requiring confirmation.

 

The prolegnas includes bills on Compulsory Military Service, Military Prisons, Elimination of Terrorist Funding, National Wage System, Sexual Violence, Poverty, Venture Capital, Child Trafficking, Gender Equality, Immigration, amendments to the Company Law, Illegal Logging, and Criminal Procedure, to name but a few.

 

It remains to be seen whether the DPR can pull off such an ambitious legislation agenda.
