Council approves election and health laws
The Cabinet in Jordan approved numerous amendments and laws aimed at strengthening reforms in the areas of elections, health, human resources, and industry. Among the most prominent are the updates to the Independent Election Commission’s system to increase transparency regarding election dates and improve administrative organization of staff; regulations on unpaid leave and its expansion; and improvements to human resource management in the public sector. Additionally, a system for practicing the legal accounting profession was adopted for the first time, with the goal of updating auditing standards and professional oversight. In the health sector, a decision was issued to abolish the Prince Hamza Hospital system in order to unify legislation and enhance the quality of healthcare services, along with the reopening of the Amman Field Hospital to ease pressure on existing hospitals. The council also approved funding for the "Better Work" program to promote the apparel sector and boost its competitiveness, as well as regularizing tax statuses for 620 taxpayers to stimulate economic activity. Furthermore, 15% of land from housing project sites has been allocated to serve low-income families. The council also discussed solutions to implement building requirements for people with disabilities.
