Description

This portal provides professionals and general public with electronic access to applicable law and all the relevant information regarding law. It provides lawmakers with effective legislative tools too.

The portal also enables the public to acquaint itself with proposed bills and take an active role in the law-making process using commenting tools. One of the greatest advantages of the system, however, is publishing of set versions of legal enactments. This permits its users to get easily familiar with numerous changes and amendments. Moreover, this system allows one to display, print or otherwise process the content of a legal enactment in its subsequently amended forms.
