The Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) will hold its final sitting from October 12 to 21, 2026, with four Bills set to be tabled, including the Supply Bill (2027) and 2026, which will present the Sarawak 2027 Budget for approval. Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar emphasized the importance of this final sitting, stating it is the last for the current term.

The Supply Bill (2027) and 2026 will be presented by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, while the Supplementary Supply Bill (2026) will be introduced by Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas. Additionally, the Sarawak State Library (Amendment) Bill 2026 will be tabled by State Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development Datuk Seri Roland Sagah Wee Inn, and the Public Holidays (Amendment) Bill will be introduced by Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali.

The amendments to the Sarawak State Library Ordinance aim to streamline governance and establish a memorial archive for preserving materials related to Sarawak's prominent figures, events, heritage, culture, and history. The amendments to the Public Holidays Ordinance aim to clarify the mechanism for replacement holidays when two public holidays fall on the same day.

Following the end of Senator Michael Mujah Lihan's term on December 10, 2026, the DUN will also elect a new senator.
