- preparation of the concept of the act – the general structure of the document is developed, the law enforcement practice is analyzed, and the main provisions of the future act are developed;

- writing a draft act – the concept is used to create the text of a normative legal act, taking into account legal and technical requirements.

- public discussion – the draft document is published for review and suggestions by interested parties, including citizens, the business community and the expert community.

- interdepartmental approval – the project is sent to the interested state bodies for comments and suggestions, after which adjustments are made to it.

- legal expertise-analyzes the project's compliance with the requirements of legislation and international obligations of the state.

- submission to the authority – after the final revision, the draft is sent to the relevant state body for consideration and adoption;

- adoption and publication – an act is adopted by an authorized body (such as the Parliament, Government, or President), signed, and officially published for entry into force.

Procedure for approval of regulatory legal acts.

- the publication of normative legal acts is a process of interaction between various state bodies, public organizations and the expert community in order to ensure their compliance with legal norms and public interests.

The main stages of approval include:

- in the inter-departmental approval – is carried out within the framework of the body that develops the draft act;

- interdepartmental coordination – is carried out between interested state bodies and departments;
