Omnibus Bill Stretches Tentacles Far and Wide

The draft contains almost 500 stipulations to be implemented through government regulations (PP). The stipulations to be delegated through PPs far exceed the number of master articles contained in the bill itself.

President Joko Widodo leads a limited meeting on the draft omnibus bill on job creation at the Presidential Office in Jakarta, Wednesday (15/1/2020).

In the second week of February, the government officially submitted the job creation bill to the House of Representatives (DPR). With a rather confusing structure of stipulations, this bill consists of 174 master articles presented in a 684-page draft, excluding the explanation section.

The draft contains the main articles of the job creation bill as a new law while at the same containing changes and cancellations of stipulations in 79 laws across various sectors. Furthermore, the published draft contains almost 500 stipulations to be implemented through government regulations (PP). The stipulations to be delegated through PPs far exceed the number of master articles contained in the bill itself. The scope of the bill is quite astonishing. For reviewers of the legislation, there is one pressing question: Why are so many stipulations in the bill delegated to PPs?
