As the end of the year draws close, the government’s focus has now shifted to next year’s Priority National Legislation Program (2016 Priority Prolegnas).  With this goal in mind, a coordination meeting led by Sareh Wiyono, the Chair of the Legislation Board (Badan Legislasi or Baleg), was held on Thursday, 10 December 2015.
 
The coordination meeting was also attended by the House of Representatives (House), the Regional Representatives Council (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah - DPD), and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, on behalf of the government.
 
Citing the official website of the DPD, www.dpd.go.id, during the coordination meeting, the DPD’s Legal Drafting Committee (Panitia Perancang Undang-Undang - PPUU) also reported the completion of the Draft Bill on the so-called Archipelagic Concept (Wawasan Nusantara) and its academic draft. The Draft Bill and its academic draft, which are also part of the 2015 Priority Prolegnas, were originally submitted to the House and the president on 3 August 2015.
 
Baiq Diyah Ratu Ganefi, Vice-Chair for the PPUU, revealed that the PPUU had put a considerable amount of effort into the Draft Bill and that her institution was hopeful that deliberations of the Draft Bill would get underway as soon as possible.
 
The DPD also suggested that the following 15 draft bills be incorporated into the 2016 Priority Prolegnas:
1.    Draft Bill on the Archipelagic Concept (Wawasan Nusantara); which will overhang from the 2015 Priority Prolegnas, should this Draft Bill fail to pass into law before the end of this year;
2.   Draft Bill on Regionally-Owned Enterprises (BUMD);
3.   Draft Bill on the Integrated Management of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Cianjur as a Megapolitan Area;
4.   Draft Bill on the Creative Economy;
5.   Draft Bill on Cooperatives;
6.   Draft Bill on Indigenous Languages;
7.   Draft Bill on State Procurement;
8.   Draft Bill on the Second Amendment to Law No. 41 of 1999 on Forestry;
9.   Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 12 of 1992 on Planned Cultivation Systems;
10. Draft Bill on Roads;
11.  Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 28 of 2009 on Investment;
12. Draft Bill on Land;
13. Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 28 of 2009 on Regional Tax and Retribution;
14. Draft Bill on Gender Fairness and Equality; and
15. Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Establishment of Laws and Regulations.
 
During last Thursday’s coordination meeting, the DPD submitted these draft bills and their respective academic drafts to the House and to the Minister of Law and Human Rights on behalf of the government.
 
Aside from the above-listed 15 draft bills, Mrs. Baiq also added that another three draft bills may also be incorporated into the 2016 Priority Prolegnas. The first of these is the Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 33 of 2004 on the Financial Balance between Central and Regional Government. Next is the Draft Bill on the Second Amendment to Law No. 17 of 2014 on Congress, the House of Representatives, the Regional Representatives Council, and the Regional House of Representatives. The third bill is the Draft Bill on the Handling of Land and Forest Fires.
 
“We also suggest and fully support the inclusion of the Draft Bill on the Amendment to Law No. 21 of 2001 on Special Autonomy for Papua into the 2016 Priority Prolegnas,” concluded Mrs. Baiq.
