DPR Passes Indonesia One Data Bill into Law
The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) has passed the Draft Law on Indonesia One Data (SDI) into law. This decision was reached during a plenary session of the DPR.
The 9th Plenary Session of the first session of the 2026-2027 period was held at the DPR building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (6/10/2026), presided over by the Speaker of the House, Puan Maharani.
Initially, the Chairman of the Working Group (Panja) for the Indonesia One Data Bill, Sturman Panjaitan, presented his report on the bill’s deliberations. Sturman stated that the bill will encompass all government agencies, both at the central and regional levels.
“One data embodies the spirit of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) in the language of governance; data producers range from ministries to village governments, yet the standards, metadata, reference codes, and master data are unified,” said Sturman.
Sturman noted that numerous parties were involved throughout the drafting process. The bill consists of 20 chapters and 141 articles.
Following the report, the session chair sought approval from the participants. The attending members of the DPR agreed to ratify the Indonesia One Data Bill as law.
Prior to the plenary, the Legislative Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI, in collaboration with the government, had agreed on the Draft Law to be brought to the plenary session. The decision-making meeting took place in the Baleg room at the DPR RI building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday (5/10/2026).
Sturman Panjaitan highlighted that the SDI Bill was an initiative of the DPR RI. During the first-level discussions, the government submitted a List of Problems (DIM) consisting of 1,338 substantive items and 829 explanatory items.
The key points of the Indonesia One Data Bill presented by Sturman Panjaitan include:
