Pomen podzakonskih predpisov raste tako v kvantitativnem kot tudi v kvalitativnem smislu, zato se logično odpira vprašanje postopka njihovega oblikovanja. Avtor se v prispevku omejuje na dva sklopa vprašanj v zvezi s tem postopkom, in sicer na determinante in funkcije postopka oblikovanja podzakonskih predpisov. Ugotavlja, da je kot glavne determinante procesnega prava podzakonskih predpisov mogoče šteti temeljna ustavna načela in temeljne človekove pravice ter posebnosti področja reguliranja, kot dopolnilne pa vplive drugih pravnih redov in pričakovanja javnosti glede načina upravljanja javnih zadev. Ugotavlja tudi, da so funkcije postopka oblikovanja podzakonskih predpisov mnogovrstne, kompleksne, med seboj odvisne in nasprotujoče si, kar pomeni, da morajo konkretna procesna pravila pogosto izravnati več med seboj nasprotujočih funkcij. Vse funkcije niso enako pomembne v vseh postopkih oblikovanja podzakonskih predpisov, saj so ti heterogena skupina pravnih aktov, kar otežuje enotno pravno ureditev. Za vsako od v tem prispevku obravnavanih funkcij je mogoče najti ustavnopravno podlago, kar pa še ne pomeni, da so vse te funkcije ustavnopravna zahteva in da je mogoče iz vseh izpeljati konkretne procesne zahteve.

The significance of the delegated legislation grows both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Consequently, the rulemaking procedure attracts more attention, both from academia and practice. The paper focuses on two dimensions of rulemaking procedure: its determinants and its functions. The author concludes that the principal determinants of the rulemaking procedural law are the fundamental constitutional principles, basic human rights, and the specificities of the regulated area. The complementary determinants, on the other side, are the impacts of other legal orders and the public’s expectations regarding the manner of managing public affairs. As far as functions are concerned, the author concludes that they are multiple, complex, mutually dependent, and contradictory. However, not all the functions are equally important in all rulemaking procedures, since delegated legislation is a very heterogeneous group of legal acts. Additionally, this heterogeneity makes it difficult to develop a unified legal system of rulemaking. For each of the given features of the functions discussed, a constitutional legal basis can be found, which, however, does not mean that all these functions are constitutional requirements and that it is possible to derive concrete procedural requirements from all of them.
