In addition to officially recognizing electronic evidence and digital forensics as an official part of the Indonesian criminal justice system, the Draft Bill also classifies corporations as subjects of criminal law, meaning that they may be subject to the imposition of additional penalties in certain cases. Moreover, the Draft Bill also introduces an alternative, non-litigation, dispute resolution mechanism that allows for cases to be settled outside the court system through the formulation of agreements between perpetrators, victims and prosecutors.

The Minister of Law has established a procedure for confirming Indonesian citizenship status through SKSK RI, which should now ensure greater legal certainty for Indonesian citizens abroad who lack or possess incomplete citizenship documents.

It should also be noted that the use of Assets as collateral and/or pawning of Assets is explicitly prohibited. Utilization decisions must be made based on technical considerations, ensuring that regional and public interests are prioritized, with thorough assessments being made before any agreements are finalized.

The Draft Amendment is still being deliberated and may thus be subject to further changes. However, it is vital to note that the newly expanded authorities and tasks of Polri may potentially turn this institution into a so-called super-body-investigator that may see its authority overlapping with other institutions. Moreover, the various authorities of Polri will be identified and standardized in order to minimize any misuse, hopefully establishing greater security in order to fully protect the general public.

The initial version of the Draft Bill on the Special Region of Jakarta (Daerah Khusus Jakarta "DKJ") that was introduced in 2023 ("2023 Draft Bill") sparked controversy due to the fact that the Governor and Vice-Governor of DKJ were to be directly appointed by the president, who would take account of recommendations that were conveyed by the Regional Peoples Representative Assembly (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah/DPRD). However, the most recent version of the Draft Bill on DKJ that was released on 18 March 2024 ("2024 Draft Bill") has now clarified that the Governor and Vice-Governor of DKJ will continue to be appointed based upon the existing system of regional head elections (Pemilihan Umum Kepala Daerah/Pilkada).
