Jordan backs law revision
Jordan’s Cabinet, chaired by Jafar Hassan, approved the rationale for a draft bill amending the Associations Law for 2026, paving the way for its referral to the Legislation and Opinion Bureau. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen governance and transparency, advance digital transformation, and assess associations based on their performance. They include barring a person from serving on the governing bodies of more than one association under the same ministry, and imposing restrictions on family relationships up to the second degree. The minimum number of founders would rise to 20 for charitable and development associations and 50 for family associations. The threshold for requiring an association’s accounts to be audited by a licensed auditor would increase from 2,000 to 5,000 dinars; associations below that threshold would be audited by the Ministry of Social Development. The amendments would also require disclosure of donors and beneficiaries, and regulate volunteer initiatives and branches of foreign associations.
