Construction of the Form and Content of Policy Regulations (Beleidsregel) in the Amendment to the Law on Government Administration

The problem in this research is the existence of a legal vacuum related to the form and content of policy regulations in Indonesia, especially in Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, which often causes legal uncertainty in its application in government administration. So this research aims to analyze and provide a construction of the presence of policy regulations in the Amendment to the Government Administration Law. The research method used is normative legal research, using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results showed that the construction of forms of policy regulations in the amendment to the Government Administration Law includes circulars, instructions, implementation instructions, technical instructions, announcements, and guidelines. The content material of policy regulations includes regulation or free policy-making if the laws and regulations provide options, do not regulate, or are incomplete or unclear; the existence of government stagnation; interpreting rules and regulations; and providing instructions or guidelines. Regarding sanctions, policy regulations can only contain administrative sanctions. The nature of policy regulations, namely, policy regulations generally bind the intended administrative body or official but will indirectly affect the general public, is abstract and applies continuously. As a result of not regulating policy regulations in the Government Administration Law, in practice, the use of policy regulations often creates legal uncertainty, where in its application there are policy regulations but in the form of laws and decisions and also policy regulations that seem to limit the rights of citizens guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution and contain criminal sanctions.
