Ras Al Khaimah Executive Council has established new procedures for creating and implementing legislation through Resolution No. 19/2025, introducing significant changes to the emirate’s law-making process.

The resolution outlines a streamlined approach to drafting legislation, removing four major procedural steps and implementing service level agreements to expedite the process. The new framework combines both human-focused and technological elements in policy development.

Under the updated system, legislation will be developed using a design-thinking methodology that begins with identifying government and stakeholder requirements, followed by idea generation, pilot implementation, and final approval stages.

The council has introduced concurrent engineering methods to ensure smooth coordination between different governmental departments during the legislative process. Specialised sectoral committees will now play an active role in reviewing and developing new laws.
