According to the Jordan news agency, Petra,
the legislative blueprint, framed to fortify the
Ministry of Social Development’s capability in delivering equitable social protection and care, is
set to identify and bolster underprivileged demographics, advancing their
productive capacity in alignment with the nation's strategic directives.
Encompassed within the draft's purview are
robust regulations concerning the licensing and oversight of social care
entities, encompassing institutions, centers, and shelters, as well as the
formalization of
social work practices and associated educational programs.
A salient feature of the draft is the
meticulous governance of charitable donation collections, establishing explicit
conditions and methodologies for the formation of a dedicated fund for social
protection and care under the ministry’s auspices.
In a concurrent move, the Council effected a
repeal of the
Venture Capital Companies Bylaw of 2023, amending the extant
Companies Bylaw and the subsidiary legislation governing corporate
liquidations. These revisions seek to obliterate redundant provisions,
streamline corporate registration fees, and simplify the liquidation process as
enshrined in the law.
