JAKARTA - The Ministry of Law targets the bill on Criminal Adjustments to be completed before the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code take effect on January 2, 2026. This bill consists of 9 articles and 3 chapters.

"If we look at it, what is clear is that this bill must be finalized before the Criminal Code takes effect," said Deputy Minister of Law Eddy Hiariej after submitting the DIM Bill on Criminal Adjustments to Commission III of the DPR, Monday, November 24.

Hiariej explained that the Criminal Adjustment Law was an order from Article 613 of the National Criminal Code, that the government and the DPR as legislators must adjust several provisions to the National Criminal Code.

"So, this bill only consists of nine articles. So if you look at this, it is thick, not the law, the attachment. The attachment is 197 pages, because we adjust various laws outside the Criminal Code with the National Criminal Code," he said.

This bill also adjusts Regional Regulations with the National Criminal Code. "Thirdly, we adjust some of the provisions in the new Criminal Code, frankly there are typo ones, then there is also something wrong in the reference article, and technical matters are like that. That's the point," he explained.

"So this only consists of three chapters and nine articles. So we adapt it to the National Criminal Code. That's all," he added.

Hiariej said that the discussion of this bill would be carried out immediately next week. So that the following week, approvals can be immediately taken in level II discussions at the DPR plenary session.

"If we look at the composition of the work plan, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays there will be discussions. Then on Monday, the first level of approval will be approved, then it will enter the plenary session," he said.

"So there really is no critical issue, because this is merely a technical problem. So we changed a lot of laws outside the Criminal Code to be adjusted to the National Criminal Code. Likewise, the tens of thousands of Regional Regulations must be adjusted to the National Criminal Code," he concluded.
