Key Takeaways
AIThe unified electronic platform for public and government feedback, Estitlaa, operated by the National Competitiveness Center, has launched 40 projects related to economic and development affairs. These initiatives, developed in collaboration with 25 government entities, aim to enable stakeholders to share their views and suggestions before the projects are approved.
Among the projects available for consultation is a draft amendment to the executive regulations of the Personal Data Protection Law, prepared by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). The proposal seeks to clarify procedures and controls outlined in the executive regulations, strengthen personal data protection, and build trust in data-driven services. Public consultation on this project will remain open until November 5, 2026.
Similarly, the Board of Grievances has introduced a draft amendment to the executive regulations of the Litigation Procedures Law before the Board. The changes aim to define procedures related to judgments issued by administrative courts in minor claims, clarify processes for correction, interpretation, and reconsideration of such judgments, and enhance the efficiency of case handling while balancing case weight and review duration. Feedback on this project is also open until November 5, 2026.
Additionally, the Saudi Electricity Regulatory Authority has published a draft regulation for self-consumption renewable energy. The proposal aims to unify regulatory references, develop requirements for self-consumption renewable energy systems, and improve procedures based on capacity and technical studies. The consultation period for this project ends on November 3, 2026.
Promoting transparency and stakeholder engagement
The launch of these regulations and system projects on the Estitlaa platform underscores a commitment to enhancing transparency in the legislative environment, promoting a culture of public consultation among citizens, government agencies, and the private sector, and involving them in shaping business-related initiatives.
