What does the bill do?
The bill changes Section 18C of the Government Companies Law of 1975. Instead of requiring that a candidate not have a business connection, the bill sets that a candidate with such a connection will be able to be appointed if they have special qualifications that justify it. The change applies to candidates for director, chair of the board, council members and directors general in government companies. The amendment also affects the screening questionnaire of the appointments committee.
