Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare announced its intention to change 'Courtesy Seats' to 'Priority Seats' in the Disability Rights Act, expanding the eligible users to those with actual needs. Amid recent disputes over giving up seats on the MRT, the ministry's draft amendment to the Disability Rights Act's Section 53 aims to address controversies by broadening the criteria for priority seating. The public is providing feedback, suggesting abolishing 'Courtesy Seats' or clarifying the definition of those with real needs while avoiding confrontation. The ministry plans to submit the draft to the Executive Yuan by the end of July for further inter-agency deliberation.
