By the end of 2024, 100% of the document flow of the Cabinet of Ministers and the State Duma will move to an online format, Izvestia was told in the office of Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Government Dmitry Grigorenko.
In particular, all government bills are planned to be sent to the lower house through the interdepartmental electronic document management system. They will not be duplicated in paper form or on electronic media (magnetic, optical or semiconductor).
To implement the initiative, the necessary changes have already been made to government regulations. In addition, the offices of the Cabinet of Ministers and the State Duma will sign an agreement on information interaction by the end of April. In it, the parties will set out the obligations, composition and format of the transferred files, as well as technical requirements for them. The corresponding document is at the disposal of Izvestia.
In a rule-of-law state, procedures for the adoption of legislative and by-laws play an extremely important role, Tatyana Ilarionova, a professor at the IGSU RANEPA, told Izvestia. Everything is important here: drafting projects on time, compliance with legal techniques, quick, business-like coordination with the responsible ministries and departments, and, finally, the elimination of any errors, both substantive and formal, already at the stage of preparing the act.
The federal executive authorities and the government of the country did not always succeed in this: year after year the indicators were not encouraging.
“But the situation seems to be changing for the better. The apparatus had to work hard, and as a result, the share of bills being returned for revision to federal ministries and departments was halved – from 47% in 2019 to 20% in 2023. It is clear that this was achieved thanks to increased performance discipline,” she believes.
