"Il Comitato per la legislazione e la verifica della qualità dei testi legislativi"
The institution at the Italian Chamber of Deputies of a Legislation Committee ( Comitato per la legislazione) charged with duty of regulating the quality of legislative texts in the context of the passage of a law through parliament, can be seen as the most recent of a series of developments concerning the technicalities of Italian legislation. The creation of the Legislation Committee is one of the fruits of the evolution of a culture of drafting, and coincides with the development of a formal notion of drafting into a fuller, substantive notion, as well as with a method of legislation involving a new conception of normative interventions as a whole.
Within this context, the analysis of the role and activities of the Legislation Committee provides a useful basis for further reflection, and can be used as a yardstick for evaluating the appropriateness or otherwise of the means currently available to institutions for addressing the great problem of the improvement of law making.
The study of this institution also provides an important basis for a more general reflection regarding the new mechanisms that are taking hold within parliamentary institutions, involving the dialectic of government and opposition taking place not at the level of political oppositions, but at the levels of common sentiment or constructive opposition over wide ranging issues. In this context, on the basis of an elaboration of procedures regarding parliamentary regulations, parliamentary law is assigned the role of interpreting the these transformations.
