With the amendment of 270 laws in one fell swoop, the state parliament of Saarland wants to advance the digitization and modernization of the administration. Today (9 a.m.), the MPs are discussing a 288-page digitization law in a first reading. The law introduced by the government stipulates that in the future, simple electronic procedures will also be permitted for 992 rules and regulations that previously required a written procedure.
Saarbrücken - Including changes that have already been made, this would create more than 1000 simplifications in Saarland laws and ordinances, according to the justification for the law.
In the future, applications, objections and notifications should also be submitted or delivered electronically in a number of cases.
The state parliament is also dealing with the report of a commission of inquiry on digitization in the education sector.
Among other things, the government recommends connecting all schools to the fiber optic network and making teachers fit for digital work in the classroom.
