Legislative Yuan rams through several amendmentsTHE GAIN OF THE FEW Opposition parties joined together to railroad a number of amendments criticized by the ruling party as distinctly tainted with self-interestBy Lins Hsin-han and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Legislative Yuan yesterday passed amendments to the Act Governing the Handling of Ill-gotten Properties by Political Parties (政黨及其附隨組織不當取得財產處理條例), no longer recognizing the China Youth Corps (CYC) as a party affiliate. Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu bangs a gavel to pass amendments to the Act Governing the Handling of Ill-gotten Properties by Political Parties at the legislature in Taipei yesterday. The legislature yesterday passed amendments to the Satellite Broadcasting Act (衛星廣播電視法), extending license holder reassessments from three to fiveyears and exempting stations that have not incurred fines exceeding NT$800,000 in the past three years from review. DPP lawmakers said the amendments were an attempt to enable CTi News to retake its old cable channel. The news channel, which broadcast via cable channel 52, was taken off the air after its license expired.
