Legislative Chamber passes amendments to law “On regulatory legal acts”

It aims at improving the quality, ensuring prompt and widespread access of users, including executives and the people to the texts of normative legal and other acts contained in the National database of legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The amendments will create additional conditions for timely and full informing of meaning and value of the laws to citizens through modern means of information and communication technologies. This, in turn, will raise the legal culture of the population.

During the session, the faction of the Social democratic party of Uzbekistan "Adolat" introduced an alternative edition of the above draft law. Members of the opposition proposed to make some adjustments concerning the definition of the official publication of normative legal acts. Also, in their opinion, an alternative edition of the draft law can enter into force from the day of its official publication, not after twelve months, as was proposed in the initial project.

Following the vote results after consideration of this draft law, the majority of deputies voted for the original document.
