The Arabian Stories, 27 October 2025: Sultan of Oman has issued a new Oman Sultani Decree No. 92/2025 establishing comprehensive legislation for persons with disabilities.

It introduces updated regulations governing disability rights across the sultanate.

Under the new legislation, the Minister of Social Development has been tasked with issuing executive regulations and implementation decisions. Existing regulations will remain in force until the new framework is fully implemented.

The decree explicitly repeals Oman Sultani Decree No. 63/2008 on the Welfare and Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities Law, along with any contradicting provisions from other legislation.
