In Latin, the word omnibus means “for all” or “many”. In legal terms, the word Omnibus is followed by the word law, namely Omnibus Law, which means a collection of many cross-sectoral regulations at different levels in one regulatory product.

The advantage of the Omnibus Law is that it is practical in correcting conflicting and overlapping regulations by making cross-sectoral stakeholders to jointly draft the related laws.

The concept of Omnibus Law has been around for a long time in many countries as a solution to overlapping regulations, such as America, England, Ireland, and also Canada.

The United States even discussed Omnibus Law in 1840. Meanwhile, in Canada, the practice of Omnibus Law began to occur in 1888. Several Southeast Asian countries have applied the Omnibus Law, such as Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
