Irans 9th Parliament started working with passing into law the Iran-Algeria Judiciary Cooperation Agreement in Civilian and Trade Affairs in June 2012; now, during three years Parliament passed into law 103 acts except the Annual Budget of the fiscal year beginning March 21 2015.
Overall, the Parliament has passed into law 31 bills so far in its third year of activity. Other important bills have been entrapped in the mechanisms of approval between the Parliament on the one side and executive and judiciary on the other. One such important bill is Minister of Justice Powers Bill which is still in constant exchange between the Judiciary and the Parliament; two more important bills including Government Financial Conduct Regulatory Bill (setting a permanent nature to budget directives) and Competitive Production Barriers Removal Bill (anti-inflation) have been passed into the law, yet the Guardian Council has not yet approved them as law to notify to the government for taking effect. However, part of these passed acts include amendments of past acts and cannot seen as new legislatures.
The last bill passed into the law by Parliament in the fiscal year beginning in March 21 2103 was Interpretation of Footnote 3 Article 9 of Employment and Social Privileges for War Disabled Act. The first bill passed into law in the fiscal year beginning in March 21 2013 was Islamic Republic of Iran and Islamic Republic of Pakistan Security Cooperation Act.
The first legislature notified to the government for taking effect was Amendment to Article 45 of Parliament Internal Regulatory Act; the law was perhaps the most important change into the Parliaments internal mechanisms, which drastically changed the combination of the Budget Combined Commission after 36 years of the de facto dominance of Budget and Planning Commission over the former. According to the legislature, it was decided that only 9 members of Budget and Planning Commission could be simultaneously members of Budget Combined Commission as well; other members of the Commission, the Bill stated, would be the select members from other specialist commissions of the Parliament. This change was important in that it ended the strict competition in part of the parliamentarians to secure a place in the Commission for its far-reaching influence on the budget in the third year of the Parliament.
Criminal Court Hearing Rules Bill was also an important bill enacted into law by Judiciary and Legal Commission of the Parliament in 2011, but notified to the government for taking effect not until 2014.
Parliamentarians Membership and Disqualifying Membership in High Councils, City Councils and Other Related Delegations Act was the subject of many debates between Parliament and Expediency Council, and finally was notified to the government for taking effect.
Notable among amendments to the law was Audit Organization Formation Act; an amendment which eliminated legal barriers on the Organizations way to extend its audition duties further. The law was reviewed with the Organizations head in the Parliament open session.
Cadastre Comprehensive Law was also of crucial importance for Parliament. The law would effectively curb illegal land adoption and set clear demarcations to natural resources.
The test implementation of 3 laws were controversial in the Parliament as parliamentarians believed that the test time should not be extended, and the government should find technical glitches during the test implementation and request for changing the law to a permanent state. Patent, Trade Mark, and Industrial Plans Test Implementation Extension Act, Law Enforcement Forces Employment Test Implementation Extension Act, and Disaster Management Formation Test Implementation Extension Act have been among the legislatures parliamentarians extended test implementation in the third year of the 9th Parliament.
