AMMAN — The Senate’s joint legal and media committee endorsed the draft amendments to the 2014 Jordan Press Association (JPA) law on Monday.

The decision came as Parliament’s ordinary session draws to a close after His Majesty King Abdullah issued a decree last week to prorogue Parliament as of May 3.Parliamentary sources told The Jordan Times, on condition of anonymity, that the Senate will not be able to conclude its discussions of the law before the end of its current session.

They said the bill might be included on the agenda of the upcoming extraordinary session, expected to take place next month.
