<![CDATA[One of the instruments in implementing local government is the DPRD which is a regional people's representative institution. The DPRD has a Legislative Function which is carried out with the Regional Head. The legislative function of the DPRD is the function of forming regional regulations with the regional head which must be guided by what has been stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning the Establishment of Legislative Regulations. To carry out these functions DPRD members also have certain rights, one of which is the Right of Initiative as the right to submit draft regional regulations. Regional regulations are one of the important instruments in regional government where regional regulations regulate local content specific to regions that are not regulated in the law. In 2021 the Jombang Regency DPRD has high initiative rights. However, in 2022 - 2023 the use of the initiative rights of the Jombang Regency DPRD will decline drastically.

What is the role of the legislative function of the Jombang district DPRD in 2022-2023, is there an initiative proposal from the DPRD? (2).

The right of initiative is reduced until it is not used at all. However, the process of implementing its legislative function has been carried out in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. However, there are still obstacles that affect the legislative function of the DPRD, including inadequate human resources, delays in the process of establishing the RAPERDA, and lack of community involvement.
