The controversial move, which triggered furious brawls in the Legislative Yuan and fierce protests by thousands of DPP supporters earlier this month, has raised speculation that the DPP government might dissolve parliament to regain control.
The bills relate to amendments to the election and recall law, constitutional court procedure law, as well as government funding allocations.
The election and recall law amendment raises the threshold for recalling elected officials, with petitioners now required to submit photocopies of ID cards to initiate the process. The KMT argues that this change prevents misuse or ID forgery but DPP lawmakers claim the revision violates constitutional rights and unnecessarily raises barriers to initiating recalls.
