- The Indonesian House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat/DPR) has officially passed the Draft Bill on the Province of the Special Region of Jakarta ("Draft Bill"), which contains 72 articles spanning 12 chapters that address the following specific areas: 1) Positions and functions; 2) Limitations and divisions of areas; 3) Principles and governmental structures; 4) City/regency councils and deliberative institutions in urban villages (kelurahan); 5) Government affairs and special authorities; 6) Foreign cooperation; 7) Funding; 8) Agglomeration areas; and so forth.
- Amongst the various arrangements addressed therein, the Draft Bill states that the Jakarta Capital City will have its name amended to the Special Region of Jakarta (Daerah Khusus Jakarta – "DKJ") in response to the forthcoming change in Indonesia’s capital city. The DKJ is defined as the center of the national economy and a global city with agglomeration areas that function as trading centers, service areas and financial services centers, both national and regional, while DKJ is also described as a global business center. The Draft Bill also effectively ends elections for city governor. Instead, DKJ governors will in the future be directly appointed by the president.
- As the Draft Bill is still being deliberated, further changes may be made to its substance.
