Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the work is to identify the main directions of the transformation of the legislative process in the context of its informatization and development of proposals for the adjustment of such a transformation.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The systematic considering of changes in the legislative process under the influence of its informatization is a complex and multifaceted practical and theoretical problem. This study is an attempt to propose specific optimization options and at the same time inductively determine the general patterns in the field under study.

Findings: As a result of the study, the limits of informatization of the legislative process as such in which the final decisions are always made by the person are identified, the current trends in the development of individual stages and off-stage elements of lawmaking are identified. The conclusion is made about the spontaneity of informatization of the legislative process, suggestions for its development at each stage are given, the position on the prematureness of the discussion about the emergence of new stages of the process under study as a result of informatization is formulated.

Original/Value: The work is intended to identifying and developing proposals for correcting the basic vectors of informatization of the legislative process. An attempt has been made to present a systematic picture of such informatization, not only identifying particular features of individual procedural stages, but also formulating general patterns in this area.
