PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT DALAM PEMBENTUKAN UNDANG-UNDANG REPUBLIK INDONESIA NOMOR 17 TAHUN 2022 TENTANG PROVINSI SUMATERA BARAT

Abstract

The provisions of Article 96 of the Law on the Establishment of Legislative Regulations stipulate that the public has the right to provide oral and/or written input in the formation of statutory regulations. In reality, the establishment of legislation often ignores public participation, one of which is the process of forming Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2022 concerning West Sumatra Province. This research is a sociological juridical legal research, with primary and secondary data, collected through interviews and literature studies. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and presented descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study show: 1) The process of public participation in the formation of the Law on West Sumatra is non-participation. 2) Obstacles in improving the Law on West Sumatra are: lack of goodwill from the DPR-RI, no implementing regulations, communication barriers, differences in paradigms and proposed programs of the regional and central governments are not yet synchronized. 3) Efforts that can be taken to improve the Law on West Sumatra are: building goodwill, forming implementing regulations, building communication between the Regional and Central Governments, aligning paradigms on West Sumatra, including local wisdom as a national program.
