- Approval of an amending regulation for the Insurance Policyholders and Beneficiaries Guarantee Fund for the year 2026 to maintain confidence in the insurance sector by reducing the likelihood of insurance company liquidations.

Amman, Sept. 27 (Petra) - The Cabinet on Sunday approved a series of regulatory updates to modernize the judicial sector, protect insurance policyholders, restructure special education administration, and settle outstanding tax disputes.
The Cabinet approved amendments to the 2026 Bylaw of Using Electronic Means in Civil Judicial Procedures. Aligned with the Justice Sector Strategy (2022–2026), the measure fully digitizes civil court proceedings. It eliminates the need to submit physical paper files after electronic filing and expands the use of audiovisual communication during hearings to streamline the litigation process.
Ministers approved amendments to the Insurance Beneficiaries Guarantee Fund Regulation for 2026, aligning with the Economic Modernization Vision (EMV). The framework shifts the sector from reactive crisis intervention to a preventive model that minimizes insurance company liquidations.
Under the new regulation, merged insurance companies may receive reduced or waived fund contributions, subject to conditions and timelines set by the Central Bank of Jordan.
The Cabinet endorsed the validating reasons for a draft administrative regulation for the Royal Academy for Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities (2026), sending it to the Bureau of Legislation and Opinion.
The draft regulation seeks to modernize the academy by introducing a flexible organizational structure that clarifies decision-making, streamlines administrative processes, and optimizes human resources.
By defining clear roles and responsibilities, the framework eliminates overlapping duties, improves inter-unit coordination, and enhances accountability in line with public-sector modernization goals.
Continuing its initiative to relieve financial burdens on businesses and investors, the Cabinet approved the settlement of 970 pending tax disputes between taxpayers and the Income and Sales Tax Department.
