DPR Set to Tackle Draft Bill on Mother and Child Welfare

The Draft Bill on Mother and Child Welfare ("Draft Bill") recently passed the harmonization and rounding (pembulatan) phase initiated by the legislative committee at Indonesia’s House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – "DPR"). A majority of fractions have now approved the Draft Bill as a legislative product on the initiative of the DPR, while nine fractions of the DPR have already commented on the draft.
According to the Head of the Draft Bill Task Committee (Panitia Kerja – "Panja"), Abdul Wahid, at least 11 matters addressed under the Draft Bill require improvement, including: 1) The Draft Bill’s technical drafting methods, which should be implemented in accordance with Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Establishment of Legislation and its Amendment; 2) The substance of the recitals set out under the Draft Bill ; 3) The definition of mother and child welfare itself; 4) The addition of principles relating to faith, belief in God and empowerment; 5) The mother’s right to receive special treatment and facilities; 6) Maternity leave; 7) The child’s exclusive right to breast milk; 8) The joint implementation of the mother’s obligations by both the mother and the father; 9) Conditions under which a child’s needs cannot be fulfilled; 10) Administrative sanctions; and 11) Transitional provisions.
Furthermore, Mr. Wahid has stated that, based on the technical aspects of the Draft Bill, it may now be proposed as a draft bill on the initiative of the DPR. However, Panja has affirmed that any such decision should be made during a DPR plenary meeting on the harmonization of the Draft Bill in line with Panja’s working results.
