The National Assembly has passed a bill that aims to drastically reduce the review time for fast-track bills from 330 days to a maximum of 90 days. This revision to the National Assembly Act was approved by a vote of 153 to 81 during a plenary session. The People Power Party (PPP), the main opposition, opposed the bill, claiming the ruling party was pushing it through without adequate discussion.
The revision outlines a 90-day review period, with 60 days for the standing committee and an additional 30 days for the legislation and judiciary committee. The bill was initially brought to a plenary session late last month, but the PPP's filibuster delayed a vote until the conclusion of the July extraordinary parliamentary session at midnight.
Currently, a fast-track bill can take up to 330 days to be brought to a plenary vote, including 180 days in the standing committee and another 90 days in the legislation and judiciary committee.
