Junta may use Article 44 to push Mineral Bill and two other orders: PM 

The legislation would authorise a national mining commission to approve concessions to mining companies to operate in the country, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said Tuesday. He vowed to make the law fair for operators but would have to be cautious about potential lawsuits.
The NCPO and the Cabinet held a joint meeting at Government House yesterday before the weekly Cabinet meeting. Prayut said that they mulled the use of Article 44 to push three issues. 
The second order was about suspending the work of the Political Development Council, National Economic and Social Advisory Council, and the Law Reform Commission. The bodies would not be abolished but would need to be suspended as their terms were ending, he said, adding that individual members would be transferred to back to their offices or other relevant agencies in need of personnel.
The last order related to recruitment for executive positions in National Education Standards and Quality Assessment
