Legislative Discussion Draft

Definition

A Legislative Discussion Draft is an early version of a proposed law or regulation circulated among policymakers and stakeholders for feedback and deliberation before formal introduction. This preliminary document allows for amendments and adjustments based on input from various parties, including industry experts, advocacy groups, and other government agencies. It serves as a foundational text for policy discourse, shaping the eventual legislative proposal. Such drafts are crucial for transparent and collaborative policymaking.
