Summary

The law is being amended to create a legal basis for a new database of draft laws, so that the entire lifecycle of the legislation can be monitored in one environment, from its initiation to its publication in the Official Gazette. With the new data set, there will be an opportunity to involve different parties and interest groups in the policy making already in the early phase. At the end of the environmental developments, the database will replace, among other things, the current draft information system, or EIS. The initiators of the draft have named the new database Sätla, which is derived from "setting", a place to create and set settings together. The establishment of Sätla is supported by both the representative organizations of entrepreneurs and the free community. As a result of the new functions, legislators save an estimated 1,855 working days per year on technical work. A complete life cycle of the initiative is created where feedback from entrepreneurs, interest protection organizations and institutions is in one place and can be monitored. Sätla supports the transition from document-based legislation to a data-based approach, which improves data usability and creates prerequisites for further automation. According to the draft, in the first stage, Sätla will be used for the drafting of legislative amendments initiated by the government. Parliament also contributes to the development of the environment. The Riigikogu adopts it based on the board's decision. The project was started in the spring of 2020 under the name of co-creation environment. Entry into force of the bill as a law, it is planned for October 1, 2026, when the introduction of the first stage solutions in Sätla will begin. The date has been chosen according to when all the necessary preparations for using the respective solutions have been completed.
