KMT lawmaker backs down on budget changes after assistants protest; keeps current rules, drafts revised bill with union input.
KMT legislator Chen Yu-jen will withdraw her proposed changes to the Legislative Yuan’s budget rules after 284 legislative assistants protested, opposing unrestricted use of public funds for staff.
The original plan would have eliminated receipt requirements, staff limits, and spending caps.
After talks, Chen agreed to keep the current system—wages, benefits, insurance, and retirement funds—unchanged and will submit a revised bill incorporating union suggestions on professional allowances, training, and career advancement.
The move aims to protect assistant rights while improving transparency.
