Abstract
The Israeli regulation database is an online public register of procedures, circulars, instructions, regulations, and laws with a regulatory aspect. The database is currently being established in accordance with the Principles of Regulation Law, 2021. While the basic concepts of this novel Law were extensively discussed in public and legal discourse surrounding its legislation, the database received little attention. This article analyzes the benefits of such a database and points out its expected drawbacks. The main argument is that contrary to convention, increasing transparency in the regulatory system is not necessarily advantageous, and in some cases, the weaknesses might outweigh the benefits. This article recommends policy directions that should be taken to realize the advantages inherent in the database, such as promoting transparency and legislative accessibility at all legislation levels, strengthening regulatory certainty, and implementing principles of optimal regulation set in the Law.
