One of the means to achieve objectives declared in GYLA’s regulations is its active participation in legislative process. For over the years GYLA has been continuously monitoring the process of legal drafting, preparing legal opinions about important bills initiated in the parliament, presenting its legal assessments, comments or recommendations during committee hearings.

 

GYLA is actively involved in consideration of bills initiated in the parliament if they are relevant to human rights protection, rule of law and effective governance; also, if legal drafts relate to GYLA’s activities or are of public interest. It is equally important that GYLA is not limited to only analysis and evaluation of legal drafts initiated; rather, it submit its own legislative proposals to the parliament. By offering new regulations and formulations to the legislative body, GYLA tries to positively contribute to improvement of the existing legal base.

 

The database on our website allows interested individuals to obtain important draft laws, their respective legal opinions and proposals submitted by GYLA to the parliament in a prompt and simple manner, and free of charge. 

 

The database incorporates information about GYLA’s activities in the legislative field since 2006. In particular, the database of legal opinions includes legal evaluations submitted by GYLA to the parliament of Georgia on legal drafts. The database of legal proposals includes all legal proposals submitted by GYLA to the parliament.

 

You can easily search the draft/its respective opinion/legislative proposal of your interest by applying the following criteria: field/sphere; stage of consideration of the legal draft/proposal; project author; initiator; name of the draft/proposal; date initiated. 

Further, you may also access TV reports, newspaper articles and radio programs released by media outlets.

 

The website also allows you to subscribe to information about newly added legal opinions and legislative proposals. The subscription will allow you to receive legal opinions/proposals submitted by GYLA to the parliament automatically and electronically. You may also share your ideas and opinions about necessity of amending a specific legal norm.

 

On the website you may also view information about the parliament, its activities and other issues of your interest related to the legislative process.
