Kathmandu | July 7 — The Government of Nepal is preparing one of its most ambitious legislative agendas in recent years, with plans to introduce or advance 151 bills during the 2026/27 fiscal year as part of a broader effort to modernize the country’s legal and institutional framework.
The proposed legislative pipeline spans a wide range of sectors, including governance, public administration, economic reform, investment promotion, education, healthcare, infrastructure, science and technology, and digital transformation. Several outdated laws are also expected to be revised to better align with Nepal’s evolving constitutional and administrative needs.
According to the government’s annual legislative plan, ministries have been instructed to expedite drafting, legal vetting, and inter-ministerial consultations so that bills can be tabled in Parliament according to schedule. The initiative aims to streamline the law-making process while reducing delays that have affected legislative business in previous years.
A significant portion of the proposed legislation is expected to focus on strengthening public service delivery, improving regulatory efficiency, enhancing the investment climate, and clarifying the distribution of powers among the federal, provincial, and local governments. The government also intends to complete pending laws required for the full implementation of constitutional provisions.
The bills will be introduced in phases during the current and upcoming parliamentary sessions, with ministries expected to publish detailed implementation timelines as drafting progresses.
The legislative roadmap reflects the government’s intention to pair policy priorities with legal reforms, making the coming fiscal year one of the busiest periods for parliamentary business since the federal system came into effect.
