Indonesia's House of Representatives (DPR) is committed to completing the Asset Seizure Bill by December 2026, according to Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman. He estimates that the legislative process will require about eight working weeks for thorough deliberation.

"Commission III continues to accelerate the formation of the Asset Seizure Bill and it is confirmed to be passed at the latest during the DPR Plenary Session in December 2026," Habiburokhman stated in a written release on Tuesday. He explained that considering the effective time of the DPR's session, excluding recess periods, the bill's discussion needs approximately eight more weeks.

During this period, Commission III plans to hold public hearings for aspiration absorption, harmonization meetings, working meetings with the government, deliberation of the Bill's details, and first and second readings before its final ratification in the December 2026 plenary session. Habib noted that the DPR has already conducted 35 public hearings and three working visits to various regions, in addition to receiving written input from numerous community groups.

"Because the remaining time is not long, if the public still wishes to convey their opinions, it can be done by submitting concepts in writing," Habib urged. He believes that efforts to absorb public aspirations have reached a near-maximum level, as the spectrum of public opinion has been well-documented. Habib added that the majority of the public strongly supports the creation of the Asset Seizure Bill and its careful drafting.

The bill aims to provide a legal framework for the seizure of assets, a crucial step in combating corruption and illicit financial activities. The extensive consultation process highlights the government's effort to ensure the legislation is comprehensive and addresses public concerns effectively.
