THE VALIDITY OF REVOCATION OF REGIONAL REGULATION ATTACHMENTS THROUGH MAYORAL REGULATIONS AS REVIEWED FROM THE HIERARCHY OF REGULATIONS LEGISLATION
Keywords:
Validity, Revocation, Regional RegulationsAbstract
This study aims to analyze the validity of revocation of attachments to regional regulations through mayoral regulations, reviewed from the hierarchy of legislation, and to analyze the legal consequences of revocation of attachments to regional regulations through mayoral regulations, reviewed from the hierarchy of legislation. The method used is normative legal research. Based on the research results, it is known that the Validity of Revocation of Attachments to Regional Regulations Through Mayoral Regulations, Reviewed from the Hierarchy of Legislation, in principle, does not have legal validity. Attachments to Regional Regulations are an inseparable part of Regional Regulations and therefore have the same legal standing as the main body of Regional Regulations. Therefore, any changes, deletions, or revocations of attachments must be carried out through the mechanism of forming a new Regional Regulation or a Regional Regulation on changes, not through the Mayor's Regulation. Reviewed from Hans Kelsen's norm hierarchy theory (Stufenbau Theory), Adolf Merkl's two-faced norm theory (Das Doppelte Rechtsantlitz), A. Hamid S. Attamimi's theory of the formation of legal regulations, and Maria Farida Indrati's theory of legal science, the Mayor's Regulation as an implementing regulation does not have the authority to change or revoke norms that are at the Regional Regulation level. This action is contrary to the principle of lex superior derogat legi inferiori, the principle of contrarius actus, the principle of legality, and the principle of conformity between types, hierarchies, and material contents as regulated in Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislation as last amended by Law Number 13 of 2022. Thus, the revocation of the attachment to the Regional Regulation through the Mayor's Regulation is an action that contains a flaw in authority (bevoegdheidsgebrek) and a flaw in hierarchy so that it does not fulfill the principles of the formation of good legislation. The Legal Consequences of the Revocation of the Attachment to the Regional Regulation Through the Mayor's Regulation Reviewed from the Hierarchy of Legislation is the absence of a valid legal consequence on the validity of the attachment to the Regional Regulation because the revocation is carried out by a regulation that does not have the authority. Juridically, the attachment to the Regional Regulation remains legally binding until it is revoked through an equivalent Regional Regulation or through a mechanism for testing legislation by the Supreme Court in accordance with the provisions of legislation. On the other hand, a Mayoral Regulation containing a provision on revocation has the potential to be declared unlawful because it exceeds the authority of its drafter (ultra vires). This situation creates conflicting norms, legal uncertainty, inconsistencies in the implementation of regional government,and has the potential to disrupt the effectiveness of public services. From the theory of legislative regulation formation, a regulation that fails to meet the aspects of authority, procedure, type, hierarchy, and content will suffer legal defects and lose its legitimacy as part of the national legal system. Therefore, to maintain legal certainty, regulatory harmonization, and consistency of the legal system, any changes to or revocation of attachments to Regional Regulations must be carried out through regional legislature.
