Two become one: lean drafting processes for laws
41 checklists and work aids are intended to support administrative staff when drafting new laws. The majority agree that this is too much – the workload is increasing and orientation is difficult.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI), the National Regulatory Control Council (NKR) and the DigitalService have shown that there is another way. Together, we have combined the methods and tools for digitally compatible legislation (Digitalcheck) with the requirements of the Regulation for an interoperable Europe - and turned two processes into one.
The result: a leaner, effective approach that reduces bureaucracy and noticeably relieves the burden on administrative staff when drafting new legal regulations. In this article, we show how we went about it - and why it pays to break new ground.
