The Second Amendment has now broadened the range of livestock that are eligible for import to include both feeder and dairy cattle, as well as buffalo. The Second Amendment has also now lifted the previously applicable restrictions that limited animal product imports to boneless meat from cattle and/or buffalo. This new framework also now permits the importation of livestock from countries that are not entirely free from animal pests and diseases, provided that any such countries have official foot-and-mouth disease control programs in place that are recognized by the relevant authorities and meet all of the required animal health standards and import procedures. In addition, State-Owned Enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Negara/BUMN) and other business actors must now secure import approvals from the National Food Agency (Badan Pangan Nasional/BPN).

In practice, E-Seals must be attached to goods prior to their departure and must be removed upon arrival, with exceptions only allowed during network disruptions that prevent the use of E-Seals.

The recent handing down of Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi "MK") Decision No. 3/PUU-XXII/2024 ("Decision 3/2024") challenges the prevailing interpretation of free compulsory basic education, as defined under Article 34 (2) of Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System ("Law 20/2003"), by expanding the obligation of the state beyond public schools to include private schools. While recognizing government efforts to support private education amid budgeting constraints, the MK has now permitted private schools to charge tuition fees, particularly institutions that offer specialized programs, provided that any such schools offer financial assistance if public schools are unavailable.

Additionally, fees for any added or replaced receivers or administrators will be determined during creditors meetings, with the relevant outcomes being submitted to judges and charged to bankruptcy costs.

Regulation 24/2025 represents a breakthrough for Witness-Perpetrators by granting them special protections and the possibility of rewards (e.g. sentence reductions or early releases). In this regard, all such requests will be subject to a strict two-stage review process and must meet various substantive and administrative requirements. Protections such as separate detention and testimony safeguards can also be granted proactively if safety is considered to be at risk. These rewards are based on the quality and consistency of testimony, as well as on the cooperation of witnesses with the authorities.
