Islamabad has officially passed the Official Secrets Act Amendment Bill 2023 and the Pakistan Army Act Amendment Bill 2023.
Following approval from both the National Assembly and the Senate, and a ten-day period during which the President could raise objections, these bills have now transitioned into acts.
The gazetted notifications for the Official Secrets Act Amendment Bill 2023 and the Pakistan Army Act Amendment Bill 2023 have been issued after the National Assembly Secretariat and the Senate Secretariat released them. Consequently, both bills have transformed into full-fledged Acts, with their respective provisions now in effect.
