Law on laws: problems of regulating the systematization of regional legal acts

Abstract

The relevance of this study lies in the need to systematize legal acts, which, over time, more and more loses its structural component. So, traditionally, administrative aspects are increasingly regulated by regulatory acts, and vice versa — executive and administrative documents often contain explicit rules of law. Laws on legal acts adopted by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are called upon to establish order in this area. For a long period of time, there have been discussions about the adoption of such a document at the national level, but this is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future. The analysis showed that often “laws about laws” only exacerbate the current situation. In this regard, it seems appropriate to develop common methodological approaches on the basis of existing errors in order to translate the originally conceived idea of adopting laws on regulatory rules into reality. The results of this doctrinal research are seen as the first step towards obtaining the specified result. The purpose of the work done is expressed in a comprehensive study of the law on legal acts of one subject of the Russian Federation to identify «pathogens» and options for overcoming them for the subsequent translation of the positive practice of using the rules of legal technique. The main content of the work is a study of the text of a regional legislative act, its evaluation from a theoretical standpoint and in comparison with similar documents in force on the territory of other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The novelty of this article lies in the identification of problems and the formulation of proposals for their solution by improving regional legislation. It seems appropriate to take into account the experience of Sevastopol in regulating the structuring of the regulatory legal regulation of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, to broadcast it to other regions. For the preparation of this work, one normative legal act was taken as a basis, studied using general philosophical, general scientific and private law methods of scientific knowledge.
