1.4 Principles for compliance of the Act on the Rules for the Drafting of

Legislation and the Evaluation of the Law 2019

Article 77 of the 2017 Constitution states that ‘ The State should introduce laws
only to the extent of necessity, and repeal or revise laws that are no longer necessary or
unsuitable to the circumstances, or are obstacles to livelihoods or engagement in

occupations, without delay, so as to abstain from the imposition of burdens upon the
public. The State should also undertake to ensure that the public has convenient access to

the laws and are able to understand them easily in order to correctly comply with the
laws.
Prior to the enactment of every law, the State should conduct consultation with

stakeholders, analyse any impacts that may occur from the law thoroughly and
systematically, and should also disclose the results of the consultation and analysis to the

public, and take them into consideration at every stage of the legislative process. When the
law has come into force, the State should undertake an evaluation of the outcomes of the

law at every specified period of time, for which consultation with stakeholders shall be
conducted, with a view to developing all laws to be suitable to and appropriate for the

changing contexts.
The State should employ a permit system and a committee system in a law only in
cases of necessity, should prescribe rules for the exercise of discretion by State officials and

a period of time for carrying out each step provided by the law in a clear manner, and
should prescribe criminal penalties only for serious offences.’

the Act on the Rules for the Drafting of Legislation and the Evaluation of the Law
2019 aims to provide a guideline for the legal drafting process and the regulatory necessity

ensure that the existing laws are consistent with changing society and laws are accessible.
