Khaberni - Parliamentary committees will hold meetings on Sunday to discuss a number of bills and files, foremost among them an amended traffic law for the year 2026, and an amended social security law for the year 2026.
According to the agenda of the House of Representatives, the joint committee "Legal, Public Services and Transport" discusses the amended traffic law.
The amended traffic law aims to enable citizens to conduct all transactions related to the sale and purchase of vehicles, including receiving their price, using electronic means and applying remote transactions and electronic signatures to complete transactions.
For this purpose, the electronic signature will be adopted at the notary in the sale and purchase transactions of vehicles; which allows the completion of the sale process without the physical presence before the notary, through the authorization of electronic communication means, visual and audio communication means, and the electronic signature, in the notary transactions conducted by officers and non-commissioned officers working in the Licensing Administration.
Additionally, the Labor, Social Development, and Population Committee continues to discuss the amended social security law for the year 2026.
On Saturday, the First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Khamees Atiyya said that the council is keen to reach a balanced formulation that achieves justice between generations, and at the same time preserves the robustness of the social security institution and its ability to fulfill its obligations, calling for an expansion of dialogue with various relevant parties and experts before deciding on any legislative directions.
He also called for dealing with the amended social security law with a cool head and deliberation, away from any haste in approving it, emphasizing that this law affects a wide segment of citizens and has long-term economic and social effects.
Atiyya confirmed that it is necessary to conduct precise and in-depth actuarial studies before proceeding with any amendments, to ensure the sustainability of the insurance system and the protection of the rights of subscribers and retirees, warning that any "unthoughtful decisions" may lead to future imbalances that are difficult to address.
Also, the Energy and Mineral Resources Committee continues to discuss the law ratifying the executive agreement for the evaluation, development, and exploitation of copper and associated minerals in the "Abu Khashiba" area.
The Administrative Committee also holds a meeting to discuss the issue of employees under the "visits" reward system in the Ministry of Youth.
