On June 28, 2024, the Parliament Powers Act came into effect, including the offense of 'contempt of parliament,' which may impact questioners and witnesses. Premier Cho Rong-tae attended the Legislative Yuan for questioning for the first time after the law took effect, sparking concerns on how to respond. The Premier expressed the intention to test the law by actions and emphasized the importance of mutual respect during inquiries. The government has filed for constitutional interpretation, while there are discussions on an interim session in August to exercise parliamentary investigative rights and pass significant bills, including amendments on nuclear power and election laws.
