Legal analysis of the procedure for the formation of the law of the republic of Indonesia

Laws are a type of legislation whose formation process takes a long time with
lengthy procedures. This study aims to examine the mechanism for the
formation of laws and regulations in Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive
normative approach, namely by explaining or legislation, legal theories, the
teachings of the science of law as well as the opinions of leading scholars. The
result of this study show that the process of forming laws and regulations in
Indonesia is still facing various obstacles so that to finalize a product of the
legislative body's law together with the government requires a relatively long
time. The draft bill queues according to the priority scale in the National
Legislation Program. The normal procedure for forming laws in Indonesia starts
from the stages of planning, drafting, discussing, ratifying or enacting until
promulgation is a process that takes quite a long time to go through discussions
and debates in the legislature to find common ground and agreement. It is not
always possible to predict when the process will end at the enactment stage.
Meanwhile, the community's need for legal certainty is a more important matter
to be fulfilled immediately
