The Guidance Manual on the PLC legislative processes was produced to help PLC staff and Members of Parliament understand the principles of legislative drafting, legislative review and legislative impact analysis according to the Palestinian Basic Law and PLC Standing Orders.  The Report includes recommendations for processing the backlog of legislation pending since the suspension of parliamentary activities. It reviews the status and shortcoming of the legislative process in OPT, and scenarios that could help the PLC resume parliamentary operations at any given moment in the future, once the PLC is back in session. It includes a legislative drafting methodology developed with Palestinian academic resources, and an impact analysis and review of 15 selected presidential law decrees that would have to be presented once parliament is in session again.
