The Media Department of the Iraqi Parliament announced that the session, chaired by Acting Speaker Mohsen Al-Mandalawi and attended by 194 deputies, included a vote on the draft twenty-first amendment to Staffing Law No. 25 of 1960 and a decision to remove the "controversial" Personal Status Law amendment from the agenda due to political disagreements.

Moreover, the Council started the first reading of the draft Service and Retirement Law for Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
