Jakarta - The Government of the Republic of Indonesia, represented by Vice Minister of Law, Eddy O.S. Hiariej, recently put forward several bills for consideration in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas). The proposal includes 5 bills for the evaluation of the 2025 Priority Prolegnas, 17 bills for the 2026 Priority Prolegnas, and 7 bills for the assessment of 2025-2029 Mid-Term Prolegnas.
"For the evaluation of the 2025 Priority Prolegnas, the government has proposed five bills: the Bill on the Implementation of the Death Penalty, the Bill on Adjustment of Criminal Provisions in Regional Laws and Regulations, the Bill on Transfer of Sentenced Person between Countries, the Bill on Movable Property Guarantee, and the Bill on the Fourth Amendment to Law No. 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises," said Eddy in the Prolegnas Work Meeting with the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI, Wednesday (09/17/2025).
For the proposed 2026 Priority Prolegnas Bill, the government proposed 17 bills, including the Bill on Civil Procedure Law, the Bill on Narcotics and Psychotropics, and the Bill on Airspace Management — all of which have carry-over status.
The remaining proposals include the Bill on International Civil Law, the Bill on Industrial Design, the Bill on Cybersecurity and Resilience, the Bill on Nuclear Energy, the Bill on Public Procurement of Goods and Services, the Bill on the Implementation of the Death Penalty, and the Bill on Adjustment of Criminal Provisions in Regional Laws and Regulations.
Then, the list continues with the following Bills: the Bill on Transfer of Prisoners between Countries; the Bill on Amendment to Law Number 2 of 1981 on Legal Metrology; the Bill on Movable Property Guarantee; the Bill on Citizenship; the Bill on Business Entities, the Bill on Clemency, Amnesty, Abolition, and Rehabilitation; and the Bill on the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises.
Furthermore, for the evaluation of 2025-2029 Mid-Term Prolegnas, the government proposed 7 bills to be included in the list, such as, the Bill on the Third Amendment to Law Number 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Guarantees, the Bill on the Third Amendment to Law Number 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, the Bill on Marine Security, the Bill on Amendments to Law Number 15 of 2012 on Veterans of the Republic of Indonesia, the Bill on Amendments to Law Number 5 of 2017 on Cultural Advancement, the Bill on Amendments to Law Number 52 of 2009 on Population Development and Family Development, and the Bill on Housing and Residential Areas.
The Vice Minister of Law, who attended in place of Minister Supratman Andi Agtas, said the government also proposed removing a bill on Restorative Justice in the Criminal Justice System (No. 162) from the list of 2025-2029 Mid-Term Prolegnas.
"This is because the main provisions are already covered in the Bill of the code of Criminal Procedure Law (KUHAP), and will be further regulated in its implementing regulations," Eddy said.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the DPR RI Legislative Body (Baleg), Bob Hasan, confirmed that a number of Bills have been proposed by the DPR, the government, and the DPD for inclusion in the Second Amendment of the 2025 Priority Prolegnas, including the Bill on Asset Forfeiture and the Bill on Industrial Chamber of Commerce.
"We're considering dropping the Bill on Industrial Zone from this list since it's already scheduled for the 2026 Priority Prolegnas," explained Bob.
In this meeting, the Chairman of the DPD RI Legal Drafting Committee (PPUU), Abdul Kholik, highlighted the Bill on Archipelago Regions, noting that it has been under discussion in the DPR since 2007 but has yet to be finalized.
“At that time, we urged the DPR and the government to take this matter seriously. If the Bill on Archipelago Regions is indeed included in the 2025 Priority Prolegnas, there should be a firm commitment to discuss and finalize it,” he said.
