Amending the Law on Officers Service in the Armed Forces.” Jordan, amending the Military and Reserve Service Law, amending the Constitutional Court Law, and amending the General Sales Tax Law.

It is noteworthy that the draft Child Rights Law sparked widespread controversy in the Jordanian street, amid fears of a direct impact and targeting of the Jordanian family, but the House of Representatives approved the draft law, following major amendments made by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (Legal Committee – Family and Women Committee).
