Description
The legislative calendar is being revamped. Data on legislative bills and orders in council under preparation will be published on a publicly accessible website; the information provided will include the title, ministry, first signatory, type of legislation, latest stage completed, reference number, current internet consultation etc. The idea is that it should be possible to track the process from beginning to end: in other words, from the announcement of the fact that an act of parliament/order in council is being prepared up to its entry into force. The process will be made transparent (current stage, stages already completed, stages still to come). The text will be made available as soon as it is public, either on internetconsultatie.nl or as a parliamentary paper. The information published on the website will be in the form of open data which can be re- used on the websites of third parties, such as http://www.volgdewet.nl. With a view to re-use of existing data, the legislative calendar will be updated on the basis of Kiwi, the interdepartmental system supporting the legislative process. Formal arrangements will be made as to the quality of the data supplied (in terms of how up-to-date, complete and reliable they are). The lead organisations on this project are the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and the Ministry of Security and Justice.
