Amman, June 30 (Petra) - A Cabinet session held Sunday, headed by Prime
Minister Dr. Bishr Khasawneh, approved an amended bylaw for licensing and establishing private Jordanian universities for the year 2024.
The system aims to enable target universities to launch
health colleges and regulate establishment of university teaching hospitals and admission of foreign students.
Additionally, the Council of Ministers okayed an amended bylaw for the Traffic Points System for the year 2024, which aligns with the issuance of the amended Traffic Law No. (18) of 2023.
The already endorsed law stiffened penalties for traffic violations that pose a danger to road users, set related traffic points and obligated perpetrators of serious irregularities to obtain a rehabilitation course at Jordan Traffic Institute.
Moreover, the Council decided to extend implementation of its previous decision, which exempted customs duties and general and special sales tax, accrued from maritime freight charges for a 1-month period.
The move comes amid the continued rise in maritime freight charges higher than their normal range, driven by repercussions of the navigation crisis in the Red Sea and aim to lower costs of importing goods and reduce impact of their prices on citizens.
On another level, the Cabinet decided to refer Director General of the Civil Status and Passports Department, Fahd Amoush, to retirement for reaching the legal age.
