The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted in the first reading the draft law № 5707 on law-making activities. The document, which is co-authored by about 200 people elected, was supported by 290 deputies, writes UNN.
"This is the constitution in the field of lawmaking, this is something that we must adopt, establishing uniform rules for the adoption, action, as well as monitoring the activities of regulations," said the head of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk, introducing the bill in Parliament.
"The main task of this bill is to adjust and regulate the issues, which we deal with every day - the question of normative and law-making activity, the question of the hierarchy of normative legal acts, the question of correlation, issues of monitoring of normative legal acts and their influence on social relations," he said.
According to the explanatory note, structurally the bill consists of 66 articles, which are embodied in ten sections.
The bill defines the concept of law-making activity, establishes its principles, participants and their powers, issues related to the delegation of law-making powers.
The draft law defines the concept of legislation as a hierarchical system of normative legal acts and international treaties of Ukraine. Types of normative legal acts are defined and the content of the concepts of "law", "code", "subordinate normative legal act", "model normative legal act", "program legal act", "main and derivative normative legal act" is disclosed. The legal force of normative legal acts is defined, as their property determines the hierarchical subordination and the ratio of binding between them. The hierarchy of normative legal acts in the system of legislation of Ukraine is established.
The authors argue that, unlike other draft laws on the subject, this document has a definition of the legal basis for planning law-making activities.
The explanatory note says that the bill significantly updates approaches to the procedure for preparing draft regulatory legal acts. In particular, it is provided that a draft regulatory legal act should be developed on the basis of the concept of a draft regulatory legal act, which reflects the principal approach to the regulation of social relations, the purpose and objectives of legal regulation, new rights and obligations of the participants of legal relations, as well as the expected socio-economic and other consequences of its implementation in the case of a regulatory legal act.
