Undang-Undang

Undang-Undang or simply meaning that Laws can only be established by the People's Representative Council or DPR. The executive branch (the President) can propose a bill (Indonesian: Rancangan Undang-Undang or RUU) to DPR. During the process of establishing a bill into a law, DPR will create a small task group to discuss the bill with the corresponding ministries. When a joined agreement has been reached, then the President shall endorse a bill into law. However, even if the President refuses to endorse a bill that has reached joined agreement, the bill is automatically in thirty days enacted as law and be promulgated as such. When an agreement cannot be reached to enact a bill into law, the bill cannot be proposed again during the current term of the legislative members.
