JAKARTA: The House of Representatives and the government will
meet on Jan. 24 through Jan. 26 to decide which bills will be put
on the priority list for this year.

Muhammad AS Hikam, chairman of the House's Legislation Body
(Baleg), said he hoped the House and the government would reach a
consensus by Feb.1.

"We have to make a decision soon so that we will have enough
time to deliberate those bills," he said on Wednesday.

including those collected from the public. The government and the
Regional Representatives Council (DPD) proposed 63 bills and 40
bills respectively. -- JP
