Za pripravo občinskih predpisov ne potrebujemo drugega orodja in tehnik kot so tiste za pripravo predpisov, ki se sprejemajo na državni ravni. Ker tako eni kot drugi zagotavljajo in omogočajo izvrševanje pravic in dolžnosti v širšem in ožjem smislu; ker tako eni kot drugi rišejo meje zakonitosti in polnijo polje izvajanja ustavnih oziroma zakonskih norm. Proces nastajanja norme v občinskem predpisu se prav nič ne razlikuje od tistega na državni ravni in njen zapis mora prav tako jasno in nedvoumno odražati tisto, kar je imel normodajalec v mislih, ko je želel neko življenjsko situacijo urediti. Tako podzakonski kot občinski predpis omogočata, da se zakon izvaja in da lahko poleg drugih naslovnikov na eni strani državna uprava in na drugi strani lokalna samouprava opravljata svoje naloge v mejah, ki jih postavljata ustava in zakon. Nomotehnične napake in slabe prakse pri pripravi (občinskih) predpisov so tako pravno-sistemskih razsežnosti kot povsem obrtno – tehnične narave, pri čemer nekatere med njimi skoraj niso omembe vredne, druge pa lahko usodno vplivajo na notranjo koherentnost predpisa, na ustavnost in zakonitost, na njegovo jasnost, razumljivost, nedvoumnost in izvršljivost in ne nazadnje na življenje predpisa, torej še kako tudi na pravno varnost in zaupanje v pravo.

In the preparation of municipal regulations, no tools and techniques are required other than those used for the preparation of regulations at the national level. Both the former and the latter provide and enable the enforcement of rights and duties in the broad and narrow sense. Both levels of regulation draw the boundaries of legality and fill in the field of implementation of constitutional and legislative norms. The process of formation of norms at the municipal level is no different from that at the state level, and its records should clearly and unambiguously reflect what the local council had in mind when regulating a life situation. Both state executive regulations and local regulations enable the implementation of legislation, and allow government departments and municipal bodies to perform their tasks laid out in the Constitution and in the legislation. Nomotechnical errors and bad practices in the preparation of (municipal) regulations may either have legal-systematic dimensions, or may be of a purely technical nature. The latter are hardly noteworthy, while the former may fatally impact the internal coherence of the regulation at hand by obfuscating its intelligibility and enforceability. Ultimately, such serious nomotechnical errors may encumber the life of a regulation, and thus affect legal certainty and infringe upon legitimate expectations.
