Standing Committee of Privileges

The five procedural committees formed on 12 March 2026 (first sitting, 13th JS) are: Business Advisory Committee (chaired by Speaker), Standing Committee of Privileges (chaired by Speaker), Committee on Rules of Procedure (chaired by Chief Whip Nurul Islam Moni per the BSS report referencing the proposal structure; exact chair not individually named in sources), Committee on Private Members' Bills and Resolutions (chaired by M. Shahjahan, Noakhali-4), and a fifth committee with Jainal Abedin (Barishal-3) named chairman -- sources refer to this as a 'special committee' distinct from the Special Parliamentary Committee on Energy formed later on 26 April 2026. Cross-check: BSS (bssnews.net/js-session/368255), Daily Sun, and Jago News 24 all confirm the five-committee formation on 12 March 2026, the Moni proposal, and the voice-vote adoption; none individually names all committee members beyond the chairmen. established_year set to 2026 because this refers to the 13th Jatiya Sangsad instance; the committee's institutional existence dates to the Constitution (1972), but each parliament reconstitutes it fresh. Speaker-as-Chairman: consistent with 11th Parliament precedent per parliament.gov.bd committee archive (index.php/en/parliamentary-business/115-list-of-committees/4159-standing-committee-of-privileges-committee-11th-parliament-en).
