Timeliness of adoption of mandatory by-laws

Timeliness of adoption of mandatory by-laws (%)

Analysis of the rate of adoption of mandatory bylaws at the time when the law that contains the mandate for the adoption of the bylaws has taken full effect. A sample of at least five new laws adopted during the year prior to the latest full calendar year (which provide for the adoption of bylaws) that have taken full effect by the beginning of the current calendar year are assessed. All bylaws that are required to be adopted under these laws (i.e. where the law does not allow for any discretion or for postponing the deadline of the adoption of the bylaw) must be identified and subsequently checked to make sure that the respective bylaws have indeed been adopted by the time the law from which they derive takes effect. The value of this sub-indicator is calculated by dividing the number of bylaws adopted on time by the total number of bylaws deriving from the new laws, expressed as a percentage. Points are allocated based on the percentage of mandatory bylaws that were adopted on time (x): • x < 50% = 0 points. • 50% ≤ x < 100% = linear function. • x = 100% = 10 points.
