Abstract

This scientific article provides a comparative-legal analysis of the importance of the regulatory impact assessment (RIA) institute in implementing legislative reforms and the role of parliament in this process.

The article highlights the mechanisms of parliamentary oversight, the procedure for conducting RIA of draft laws, independent expert institutions and public participation based on the experience of the United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea and the European Union. Specifically, the Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) and parliamentary oversight of RIA quality in the UK, the Bundestag's sustainability impact assessment rules in Germany, the activities of the Regulatory Reform Committee (RRC) in South Korea, and the role of the European Parliament's Impact Assessment Directorate in the European Union are analyzed.

The current state of the regulatory impact assessment system in the Republic of Uzbekistan will also be reviewed, and scientific and practical proposals will be put forward to strengthen the role of parliament (the Oliy Majlis). These proposals are aimed at conducting RIA of draft laws at the parliamentary stage, introducing an independent evaluation mechanism, and adapting international experience to national conditions.
