The Cabinet session also saw the approval of several new
bylaws, which are detailed below, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
Bylaw approvalsThe Council of Ministers approved the mandating reasons for
amendments to the Specialized Tourist Transport Licensing Bylaw for 2023, which
has been sent to the Legislation and Opinion Bureau for the issuance of
procedures.
The new regulation is aimed at keeping pace with the high
volume of reservations for domestic and foreign tourist groups, compared to
previous years.
The bylaw was
introduced because tourist companies did not benefit from a previous Cabinet
decision that gave a deadline for them to rectify their situation due to
COVID-19 pandemic repercussions.
The Cabinet also approved the validating reasons for an
amended bylaw for administrative costs for services provided by the Department
of Lands and Surveys (DLS) for 2023, following the endorsement of the new Land
Registration Fees Law No. (7) of 2023.
The bylaw details fees collected by the DLS for land
transactions and aim to avoid duplication or irregularity in collecting the due
fees.
The Cabinet approved the mandating reasons for an amended
Customs Bylaw of Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) for 2023.
The new regulation aims to align with the recent law-based
amendments and enable the Jordan Customs Department to practice and regulate
customs procedures within the ASEZA borders.
The Cabinet approved the validating reasons for the
administrative organization bylaw of the Agricultural Credit Corporation (ACC)
for 2023.
The new bylaw aligns with the Public Sector Modernization
Map, which aims to strengthen the principle of the ACC's financial
independence, control spending, and stimulate growth in the Kingdom's
agricultural sector.
National Strategy for CultureThe Council of Ministers approved the National Strategy for
Culture for 2023–2027 and entrusted the Ministry of Culture with developing its
executive action plan.
The plan will include performance indicators, a timeframe,

of the National Resources Investment & Development Corporation, which
allows for cash discounts on prices for the corporation's land plots intended
