House Approves 11 Articles of Local Governance Draft
The House of Representatives approved 11 articles of the Local Administration Law for the year 2026, which aims to transform the municipal role from primarily service delivery to a broader developmental and investment role, while also enhancing governance and accountability. The articles include important definitions, such as "Resident," who resides within the municipality's borders and benefits from its services; "Elector," referring to a Jordanian registered to vote; and "Liable," indicating someone who owes a certain amount to the municipality, including fee collection. The committee also introduced numerous amendments to strengthen oversight and authority, with an emphasis on the municipality's role in policy formulation and implementation, while avoiding overlaps in authority with specialized scientific and technical entities responsible for identifying hazardous areas, such as landslide zones. The law seeks to boost the role of municipalities in sustainable development by activating modern management mechanisms and ensuring transparency.
