The House of Representatives (House) has already passed six draft bills into law during the current 2014-2019 parliamentary period. The recently passed draft bills comprise of four draft bills from the 2016 Priority National Legislation Program (Prolegnas), as well as two draft bills which have gone through non-prolegnas process (komulatif terbuka).
“The House and the government have agreed to pass six draft bills into law,” asserted Ade Komarudin, the current Speaker of the House, from the House Office on Friday, 18 August 2016.
The first bill from the 2016 Priority Prolegnas to be passed is the Bill on Public-Housing Savings (Tabungan Perumahan Rakyat, also known as the Tapera Bill). Both the government and the House have agreed that this particular bill represents a significant breakthrough regarding the housing needs of Indonesia’s low-income citizens. Mr. Komarudin considers the Tapera Bill to be an extraordinary piece of legislation, as it formulates an effective and revolutionary way out of the country’s housing problem. The Tapera Bill is also seen as offering a sustainable solution, as well as being a legal basis through which the government can provide decent but affordable housing for Indonesia’s citizens.
The second bill is the Bill on the Protection and Empowerment of Fishermen, Fish-Breeders, and Salt Farmers. According to Mr. Komarudin, this bill aims to regulate the infrastructure necessary for the development of these businesses (fishing, fish breeding, and salt farming), including ensuring sustainable business operations, as well as the development of suitable financing institutions and systems for these types of businesses. Moreover, this bill also aims to protect fishermen, fish breeders, and salt farmers from various risks, such as natural disasters, climate change, and pollution, as well as providing proper safety guarantees and legal assistance.
The third bill is the Bill on the Prevention and Control of Financial-System Crises (Pencegahan dan Penanganan Krisis Sistem Keuangan or PPKSK Bill), which was originally titled the Draft Bill on the Financial-System Safety Net during its deliberation stages. According to Mr. Komarudin, the PPKSK Bill offers a sound legal basis for the provision of savings insurance schemes, and also establishes an emergency financing mechanism for the central bank, as well as formulating policies aimed at both preventing and handling any possible crisis that may emerge. The stated aim of this bill is to maintain the country’s financial stability and thus make a positive contribution to the notion of sustainable economic development.
And finally, the Bill on Disabled Persons aims to safeguard the rights of disabled persons, including their economic, political, social, and cultural rights. These aims are in line with Indonesia’s constitution, which guarantees that all of its citizens, including disabled persons, can enjoy their rights as free individuals.
“It is hoped that this particular bill can grant equal rights and opportunities for disabled persons, and that they will thus be able to lead prosperous and independent lives free from discrimination,” asserted Mr. Komarudin.
Meanwhile, the first bill resulting from non-prolegnas process is the Bill on the Ratification of the Agreement Between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on Cooperation in Defense Activities. The second bill is the Bill on the Ratification of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia and the Federal Ministry of Defense of the Federal Republic of Germany on Cooperation in the Defense Sector.
Mr. Komarudin further revealed that at least 14 draft bills were still being deliberated by the House and the government, while another 10 draft bills originally proposed on the initiative of the government were being formulated by the House.
“Both the House and the government are committed to accelerating the deliberation process for draft bills which are prioritized for [completion in] 2016,” concluded Mr. Komarudin.
Also commenting on this issue was Vice Speaker of the House, Agus Hermanto, who asserted that the passage into law of the four Priority Prolegnas draft bills, as well as the two bills resulting from the cumulation process, represented a positive start. Mr. Hermanto believes that the House should ensure that it doesn’t fall behind in its lawmaking duties, and asserted that this is why various strategies have been implemented, such as reducing recesses and extending the timeframes for the deliberation of various pieces of legislation.
“Hopefully, the target of passing 40 draft bills into law during 2016 can be achieved,” Mr. Hermanto concluded.
