House approves 35 Local Government articles
The main focus of the article was on the Jordanian House of Deputies’ discussions regarding amendments to the Local Administration Law of 2026. To date, 35 articles out of 70 have been approved, aiming to enhance the powers and flexibility of municipal management. Notably, municipalities have been classified into three categories, and any boundary adjustments require studies of demographic and social composition, while also considering the financial impact. Additionally, regulations have been established to enable municipalities to manage their projects and expand investments, along with strengthening mechanisms for revenue collection through partnerships with the private sector. Efforts have also been made to reduce the burden on landowners by sharing costs for road paving and retaining walls, with a focus on social justice and economic benefits. These amendments are part of an effort to develop existing legislation to support local development and improve municipal services.
