Saudi Gazette, 29 September 2025: Saudi Arabia’s Justice Ministry has outlined a new approach to law-making that emphasises public participation and transparency in legislative processes.

Justice Minister detailed the implementation of a specialised legislative framework designed to modernise the Kingdom’s legal system. The new structure focuses on making legal texts more accessible and incorporating public consultation in law development.

Key elements of the framework include: enhanced transparency in legal procedures, streamlined judicial and administrative processes, improved dispute resolution mechanisms, greater public participation in law-making and simplified access to legal rights and services.

The Ministry has established new procedures for drafting legislation that require: public consultation periods, stakeholder engagement, expert input on proposed laws, clear documentation of legal objectives and regular review of legislative impact.

The framework introduces standardised procedures for creating and implementing new laws, with emphasis on making legal texts comprehensible to the general public. It also establishes formal channels for experts, stakeholders, and civil society to contribute to legislative development.
