Summary

Act No. 94 of 2016 amends the Public Offices Election Act (Act No. 100 of 1950) and the Act on National Review of Judges of the Supreme Court. The listing gives a promulgation date of 2016-12-02 and an effective date of 2017-06-01, but does not describe the substantive amendments.

Business Impact
