Jordan: Draft Professional Work Regulation Law
Jordan has published the key provisions of its Draft Professional Work Regulation Law of 2026, which proposes a unified legal framework for regulating professions across the country. The draft legislation would establish common standards for professional licensing, registration, qualification recognition, continuing competence, disciplinary procedures, and oversight while promoting greater consistency among regulatory bodies. It also seeks to strengthen governance by clarifying the responsibilities of regulators, improving transparency and accountability, and enhancing mechanisms for monitoring professional practice and addressing misconduct. The proposed law reflects a broader effort to modernize Jordan's professional regulatory system, improve public protection, and align regulatory practices with evolving workforce and economic development needs.
