A civic group-sponsored bill seeking to repeal 35 announcements and orders of the 2014 coup-makers is scheduled for its first reading in the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
Internet Law Reform Dialogue (iLaw) said the House's secretariat had told it that the draft law is up for deliberation on Wednesday and the group is expected to present the bill.
According to iLaw, the draft was submitted to the House in June 2019 under Section 133 of the constitution after an 18-month campaign.
More than 13,000 eligible voters signed up in support through a signature-collection process, it said.
The bill seeks to repeal a total of 35 orders and announcements issued by the now-dissolved National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and its chief.
These documents are seen as infringing on the rights and liberties of the people, iLaw said, as it offered an update yesterday on its Facebook.
However, some of the targeted announcements have been abolished while the bill remains pending legislative review, sources say.
As now of, only 17 orders and announcements targeted in the bill remain in place, they say, though iLaw says the figure is higher.
On Dec 1, iLaw and civil groups will address the House as to how the coupmakers' orders have affected them and civil rights and liberties and why they should be abolished.
The group said the draft law is its first official attempt to remove the legacy of the NCPO which issued a total of 556 orders and announcements during its stay in power.
These announcements, which ranged from fishing regulations to education reforms and political conflicts, lack public input and oversight, according to the group.
"There are hundreds of these orders and announcements that remain in place and are never examined to determine if and how their enforcement had positive or negative impacts on the people's lives," it said.
They continue to function as laws because they are recognised by Section 279 of the charter. A law must be enacted to have them abolished, iLaw said.
According to iLaw, the draft requires approval from at least half the MPs to pass its first reading and the Senate does not take part in this stage of deliberation.
On Nov 17, a charter amendment draft, was shot down at a joint sitting of MPs and senators.
