Description
A direct dialogue between legislators and an individual will be enhanced: the web-site of the Legislative Herald (www.matsne.gov.ge) will have a special module allowing everyone to comment on any article of draft or enacted laws and bylaws and provide their opinions. Understanding laws will become easier as it is planned to link landmark court judgments to the respective articles within the legislative acts on the mentioned website.A team of legislation drafters in the Ministry of Justice will closely monitor the developments, will identify most discussed legal issues raising concerns and if needed, will prepare legal drafts for the parliament.
