BIN Holds Closed-Door Meeting with DPR's Commission I to Discuss 15 Points for Revising the National Resource Management Law

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) held a closed-door meeting with officials from the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Monday (20/4/2026).

TB Hasanuddin, a member of Commission I of the DPR RI, stated that the meeting discussed 15 points in the National Resource Management Law (UU PSDN) deemed in need of revision.

“The core issue is that the UU PSDN requires revisions. They were then presented. There are 15 points that need to be revised,” Hasanuddin said when met at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta.

He explained that several points discussed included those related to reserve components (komcad), encompassing usage mechanisms, training, and the institutions overseeing them.

Additionally, the meeting highlighted provisions regarding the utilisation of civilian assets in Article 66 of the UU PSDN.

Under that regulation, assets owned by the public may be used for komcad purposes.

“Those assets, in the sense of all resources? For example, land, then cars, trucks, are used. If they are not provided, there can be punishment. Maximum four years. We discussed that earlier,” Hasanuddin said.

However, outside of emergency conditions, the provision of compensation for asset owners needs to be considered.

“What form would the compensation take? We will discuss that later. That’s it,” said the PDI-P politician.

Hasanuddin added that the revision proposals did not come from the government, but from the DPR’s expert body.

Nevertheless, no decision has yet been made regarding the continuation of the UU PSDN revisions.

Commission I of the DPR is still considering whether these revisions will become a legislative priority.

“There is no conclusion yet. The conclusion, roughly, yes, we accept them all (the proposals). Then we will think about whether this revision becomes a priority or not. More importantly, we agreed earlier to first complete the broadcasting law, which has been pending for a long time,” he said.
