Repositioning Delegated Authority and Binding Power of Ministerial Regulations in Indonesia

This research examines the position and binding power of Ministerial Regulation (Permen) and Coordinating Ministerial Regulation (Permenko) in Indonesia, after the Job Creation Law (Law No. 6/2023). The formulation of the problem includes (1) how the legal construction of Permen as a form of delegated legislation is, and (2) how is the coordinative nature and normative position of Permenko in the hierarchy of national regulations. The method used doctrinal analysis of positive legal norms combined with legislative delegation theory and public administration theory on coordination. The main findings reveal that the effectiveness of Permen depends on the clarity of delegation clauses and enforcement mechanisms, while the effectiveness of Permenko is determined by (a) clarity of delegation, (b) inclusion of sanction provisions, (c) layering regulation through supporting government regulation/presidential regulation, (d) participatory drafting mechanisms, and (e) accountability mechanisms such as reporting clauses and judicial review. This research contributes by formulating an integrated normative blueprint for the design of Permenko that integrates legal and administrative elements, as well as recommendations for amending Law No. 12/2011 and issuing supporting regulations. The implications of the study include strengthening legal legitimacy, increasing bureaucratic compliance, and improving checks and balances mechanisms in the delegation of executive authority. With the implementation of this blueprint, Permenko are expected to become a strategic instrument to ensure the consistency of national public policies, strengthen the principle of constitutionalism, and realize good governance in Indonesia.Keywords: Binding Power, Delegated Authority, Ministerial Regulations, Normative Hierarchy AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji kedudukan dan daya ikat Peraturan Menteri (Permen) dan Peraturan Menteri Koordinator (Permenko) di Indonesia pasca UU Cipta Kerja (UU No. 6/2023).

Abstract

This research examines the position and binding power of Ministerial Regulation (Permen) and Coordinating Ministerial Regulation (Permenko) in Indonesia, after the Job Creation Law (Law No. 6/2023). The formulation of the problem includes (1) how the legal construction of Permen as a form of delegated legislation is, and (2) how is the coordinative nature and normative position of Permenko in the hierarchy of national regulations. The method used doctrinal analysis of positive legal norms combined with legislative delegation theory and public administration theory on coordination. The main findings reveal that the effectiveness of Permen depends on the clarity of delegation clauses and enforcement mechanisms, while the effectiveness of Permenko is determined by (a) clarity of delegation, (b) inclusion of sanction provisions, (c) layering regulation through supporting government regulation/presidential regulation, (d) participatory drafting mechanisms, and (e) accountability mechanisms such as reporting clauses and judicial review. This research contributes by formulating an integrated normative blueprint for the design of Permenko that integrates legal and administrative elements, as well as recommendations for amending Law No. 12/2011 and issuing supporting regulations. The implications of the study include strengthening legal legitimacy, increasing bureaucratic compliance, and improving checks and balances mechanisms in the delegation of executive authority. With the implementation of this blueprint, Permenko are expected to become a strategic instrument to ensure the consistency of national public policies, strengthen the principle of constitutionalism, and realize good governance in Indonesia.Keywords: Binding Power, Delegated Authority, Ministerial Regulations, Normative Hierarchy AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji kedudukan dan daya ikat Peraturan Menteri (Permen) dan Peraturan Menteri Koordinator (Permenko) di Indonesia pasca UU Cipta Kerja (UU No. 6/2023).
