legislative activities of a number of public authorities is to ensure that these institutions have the right, which is called the legislative initiative.It is an essential tool of democracy, by which the law is changed.
concept
legislative initiative in Russia is, first of all, the introduction of the bill by an official or agency with such a law.In addition, the first stage of adopting a normative act bears the same name.The legislative initiative belongs to the Government at the federal level, the Federal Assembly and the President.Also, the higher courts have such a right.At the regional level, it is the prerogative of the representative bodies.
People
legislative initiative should be noted that in some European countries such as Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, to exercise this right.In Russia we also have such an institution, but it has not received proper distribution.This is partly due to the fact that the Constitution of the country's legislative initiative of citizens is not reflected.However, in some regions, or even locally provided such a procedure.It means that citizens sign the bill (a certain amount), and then the Parliament is obliged to consider it.But such an institution is rarely used, so that you can analyze at once all practices.Unfortunately, the draft was discussed in the legislature of a particular region, it is necessary that a large number of people to sign it.But this is not always feasible, because need some organization, someone went and collected signatures.Alone, it can not be done.
Actions with the project
representative body, such as the State Duma, is to implement a series of actions by enrolling in their address to the draft law.First of all, compliance is checked: whether the subject of the coming legislative initiative, whether the form is correct (it provides regulations), as well as observing the other requirements that apply to this type of document.If the act is not considered corresponds to something of the above, it is returned on completion.As you can see, all grounds of a formal nature, so there is little difficulty.
value
Details should talk about it.The legislative initiative is taken steps to change the regulations.This allows for the main function of Parliament - law-making.In addition, each project is subject to scrutiny, so even at the stage of making a certain part is cut off.People actually excommunicated from the right.In general, in Russia it is generally not provided for the citizens, and if in certain regions and there is, it is virtually impossible to implement.Bills lead to the transformation of the legislation, reflecting their real situation in the society and the state.It is therefore important operational and competent work on their preparation, because it affects the timeliness of their adoption.
