Premier Simon Chang (張善政) visited the Legislative Yuan to meet with Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) and the legislative caucuses to talk about the processing of bills during the interim period.

After a half-hour closed-door meeting, Su said that all caucuses agreed that the review of controversial bills should be suspended before Tsai is sworn in.
