Indonesia's House of Representatives Approves Two Bills as Initiative Proposals

The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) has officially advanced two draft laws, designating them as initiative proposals for further discussion with the government. The decision was made during the 26th plenary meeting, marking the end of the V 2025-2026 session.

The two bills are the "One Data Indonesia" bill, proposed by the DPR's Legislative Body (Baleg), and a third amendment to Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation (LLAJ). The plenary session was chaired by DPR Speaker Puan Maharani, accompanied by Deputy Speakers Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Sari Yuliati, and Saan Mustopa.

Following the plenary session's approval, the government is expected to compile a list of inventory problems (DIM) for each bill. These documents will then be submitted to the DPR for joint deliberation. Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad has granted permission for these bills to be discussed during the upcoming month-long recess period.

In addition to these two initiatives, the DPR also noted that the Asset Seizure Bill is under discussion in Commission III. Dasco mentioned that Commission III has been actively discussing this bill for the past two months, including receiving public participation. He indicated that other bills, including the "One Data" and Traffic and Transportation laws, are also slated for discussion during the recess.
