A proposal for Islamabad, not a nationwide rule change
The introduced text limits the proposed legislation to the Islamabad Capital Territory. Its introduction does not establish a new rule for all of Pakistan.
As reviewed on October 28, the Senate tracker does not record passage or transmission to the National Assembly for this bill. The Senate explains that a bill requires passage by both Houses and presidential assent to become an Act. The proposed commencement wording in the bill is not evidence that it has taken effect.
