The author comes to the conclusion about the creation of guidelines, other regulations governing the procedure and procedures for the use of digital technologies in the law-making process. It is necessary to make changes to the legislative system by creating normative acts regulating the legal and technical aspects of the law-making process. Digital technologies will make it possible to improve the procedure for conducting expert examinations of draft normative acts; determine the volume of regulations that need to be systematized; reduce the burden on subjects of legal and authentic interpretation.
