Taipei, Sept. 18 (CNA) The Cabinet has singled out 72 pieces of priority legislation that it hopes will clear the Legislative Yuan during the legislative session that starts on Sept. 22, Cabinet spokesman Hsu Kuo-yung said Monday.
On top of the list is the government's budget proposal for 2018, which includes a plan to raise the salaries of civil servants, military personnel and public school teachers by 3 percent, Hsu said. Bills on tax reform will be submitted to the Legislature as soon as they are approved by the Cabinet, once an ongoing review ends on Oct. 6, he said.
Other legislation on the list includes proposed amendments of work rules, pension reform, rules governing visits to China by serving and former civil servants as well as draft laws on information security management, the recruitment and employment of foreign professionals and transitional justice, he said.
