JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR proposed to the government to revise Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court (MK)

Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives, Habiburokhman, explained that the four important materials proposed have changed because their implementation since their revision in 2022 is no longer relevant to the current state administration.

"Some of the important subject matter in the amendment to the fourth Constitutional Court Law, among others, is the minimum age requirement for constitutional judges. Second, the evaluation of constitutional judges," said Habiburokhman at the Commission III Working Meeting with the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menkumham) Mahfud MD at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 15, was confiscated by Antara.

Next, he continued, the third and fourth material that will be discussed in the revision of the Constitutional Court Law is a matter regarding the membership elements of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) and the abolition of the provisions for the transition of the term of office of the Chief Chair and Deputy Chair of the Constitutional Court.

On the same occasion, Habiburokhman also conveyed things that were behind the DPR proposing a revision of the Constitutional Court Law.

"The change in law was motivated because there were several provisions that were canceled by the Constitutional Court Decision Number 96/PUU-XVIII/2020 and the Constitutional Court Decision Number 56/PUU-XX/2022," he said.

Next, he conveyed that the revision of the Constitutional Court Law was intended to adjust these rules to the legal needs of the community and the life of state administration in Indonesia.

Habiburokhman added that in the development of the implementation of the Constitutional Court Law, the regulation was no longer in accordance with the development of public legal needs and the current life of state administration.

"In its development, several provisions in Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court, as have been amended several times, lastly, Law Number 7 of 2020 concerning the Third Amendment to Law 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court is no longer in accordance with the development of public legal needs and constitutional life," he said.
