Cabinet nod to gazette bill on Sri Lanka Telecommunication Regulatory 

The Cabinet of Ministers approved the publication of the draft bill for the amended Sri Lanka Telecommunication Regulatory in the Government gazette and present the same in the Parliament for approval.

“The move follows the receipt of Attorney General clearance for the draft bill, which has been carefully prepared in all three languages by the Legal Draftsman,” Cabinet Co-Spokesman and Minister Bandula Gunawardena said yesterday at the post-Cabinet meeting media briefing.

The decision to amend the Sri Lanka Telecommunication Regulatory Act No. 25 of 1991 was initially approved by the Cabinet in their meeting held on 1 January 2024. 

He also assured that this piece of legislation has no connection to the previously approved Online Safety Act.
