Description
All draft legislation will be given a concise title for communication already in the preparatory phase. If possible a plain language version will be made of the main content of the law and its core issues. Crowd-sourcing and test reading groups will be used in drafting the standard language names and resumes. The need to update instructions regarding implementation of the law being drafted is evaluated already at the beginning of the law drafting process, so that authorities can be prepared for the update work. Year 1 of our Action Plan we will cre- ate the guidelines for drafting the titles and resumes and start testing them in pilots. Year 2 of the Action Plan new guidelines will be added to the handbook on law drafting.
