The People's Representative Council of the Kingdom of Prawasia is one of the two elected national legislative assemblies in Prawasia. Together with the State Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Negara, DPN), a second chamber with limited powers, it makes up a legislative body, the National Assembly (Majelis Nasional). For 2020 elections, there would be 500 members, all elected.
Powers
The DPR has three main functions: legislative, budgeting and oversight. It draws up and passes laws of its own as well discussing and approving government regulations in lieu of law and proposals from the State Representative Council (DPN) related to regional issues. Together with the Prime Minister, it produces the annual budget, taking into consideration the views of the DPN. It also has the right to question the Prime Minister and other government officials.
