Senate reviews three laws Monday
The Senate discussed three main draft laws in an extraordinary session: amendments to the Real Estate Ownership Law of 2026, the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Authority Law of 2026, and the Local Administration Law of 2026. The amendment to the Real Estate Ownership Law and the Accreditation Committee Law were approved, while the Local Administration Law was passed after lengthy discussions. The amendments included canceling the Cabinet's authority to dissolve municipal councils without specific regulations, restricting this power to certain cases with the formation of temporary committees and elections within a year. Additionally, the formation of provincial councils was approved, with female representation not less than 30%. After the voting, the laws are directly referred to the Council of Ministers or returned to the House of Representatives for further amendments. The laws aim to organize the powers of local councils, expand women's representation, and provide a clear legal framework for the management of provinces and municipalities in Jordan.
