Also signs measure seeking to convert Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology into a state university into law
(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday, May 28, signed into law Republic Act No. 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act.
The Palace has yet to release a copy of the law, but Duterte said in a speech it is hoped that the measure will “solve the perennial problem of bureaucratic red tape.”
The law reportedly includes a provision that allows for a unified form for business permits and renewals, a standardized deadline for government transactions, a minimal contact policy between the government officer and the person who wishes to put up a business, and a two-strike policy on government officials who fail to issue permits within a specific period, among others.
The President signed the measure into law, which amends Republic Act 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007, in the presence of leaders of Congress.
In the same event, the President also signed into law Republic Act (RA) 11033 “converting the Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology into a state university.”
