Government has presented a new bill to Parliament. This bill is called the Community Service Bill. It proposes a different way to deal with people who commit minor crimes.
The bill suggests that offenders could be sentenced to community service. This would be an alternative to serving time in prison. It is intended for cases where the crime is not serious.
Parliament has sent the bill to the Committee on Defence and Interior. This committee will look at the bill carefully. They will consider it before it can be voted on and potentially become law.
If the bill becomes law, it means that some people convicted of minor offenses will not go to jail. Instead, they will be required to do work that benefits the community.
