Today, Thursday (April 18, 2024), a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, MP Omid Mohammed, confirmed the existence of 150 draft laws on the table of the standing committees of the House of Representatives.

Mohammed said in a statement to "Baghdad Today", that "his committee is following up on draft laws and amendments put forward by the standing committees in the House of Representatives, which amount to 150 laws so far," adding that "controversial laws need political consensus, but the file of the presidency of the Council in light of the lack of resolution of the vote on a candidate for it reflects negatively on the file of legislation Laos.

He called for "the need for the State Administration Coalition to have positive steps in this direction in order for the current legislative term to be fruitful in the direction of resolving many laws and their amendments."

He stressed "the need to proceed with the legislation of controversial laws, including general amnesty, service and others without political consensuses that contribute to securing sufficient votes to vote on them, and this needs to resolve the rest of the files in order to proceed with them," pointing out that "the resolution of the law for people with disabilities and voting on it 3 days ago represents an important step during the legislative term of the Council to resolve the rights of an important segment."

Parliament is expected to hold a session for today, after postponing in its last session the vote on the draft law on the first amendment to the Iraqi Housing Fund Law No. (32) of 2011, and postponing the vote on the draft law on the first amendment to the Property Claims Commission Law No. (13) of 2010, where the House of Representatives completed the first reading of the draft law on the accession of the Republic of Iraq to the Convention on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, as well as the report and discussion of the draft law regulating renewable energy.
