During the spring regular session of Parliament, lawmakers officially approved two draft laws after final discussions and voting. The draft law on blood donation was passed with the support of 81.1 percent of members, while the draft law aimed at improving the utilization and efficiency of external loans received 69.5 percent approval.
These decisions mark the first time since the beginning of 2026 that parliament has adopted independent legislation during its regular session.
The newly approved blood donation law introduces additional social support measures for donors and their families. Under the legislation, funeral expenses will now be covered for deceased donors, and support for organ transplant treatment is expected to increase. Officials say the law is intended to encourage blood donation while strengthening protections and benefits for donors.
Meanwhile, the law on increasing the use and efficiency of external loans is expected to provide greater financial flexibility for the Government. According to the new regulation, expenditures related to major infrastructure projects including the oil refinery and the Erdeneburen Hydropower Plant will no longer be counted as part of the state budget deficit and expenditure calculations. Supporters of the measure argue that it will help accelerate the implementation of large-scale development projects.
The spring regular session of parliament officially opened on March 16 this year. However, much of the past two months was dominated by political and leadership changes rather than legislative work. During that period, Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar was dismissed from office and replaced by N.Uchral. In addition, the Speaker of Parliament removed N.Uchral from his previous position and appointed S.Byambatsogt in his place. With the approval of these two laws, parliament has now moved forward with substantive legislative decisions after weeks focused primarily on political appointments and restructuring.
