Thailand's Cabinet approved 31 draft laws to advance through the legislative process, including a Clean Air Bill and measures on bankruptcy, traditional medicine, and telecommunications regulation.
Thailand's Cabinet has reaffirmed support for 31 draft laws to continue through the legislative process, including the Clean Air Bill, the Prime Minister's Office said on Tuesday.
Government spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek said the bills comprise 21 draft acts proposed by the Cabinet and 10 submitted by members of the previous House of Representatives.
Among the Cabinet-backed bills still pending consideration are draft laws on cheque offences, public service facilitation, bankruptcy, and the protection and promotion of traditional Thai medicine. The Clean Air Bill is also included among those the Cabinet has confirmed should proceed in parliament.
The 10 draft bills proposed by former MPs have already passed initial approval in the House and are currently under Senate consideration. These include legislation on the allocation of broadcast frequencies and regulation of radio, television and telecommunications, as well as a bill on provincial administrative organisations and another concerning dairy cattle and milk products.
