During the period of profound reforms being implemented in the Republic of
Uzbekistan, entrepreneurial activity is recognized as the main driving force of the national
economy. In this regard, all branches of state power, including representative bodies, play
an important role. The Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan and local Councils of People’s
Deputies, within their competence, carry out activities for the socio-economic development
of the regions, as well as improving the business environment. Within the framework of
President Sh. Mirziyoyev’s decree “On the Strategy 'Uzbekistan –
2030” includes
comprehensive measures that are being implemented to support business entities, ensure
their legal protection, and expand the freedom of economic activity.
This article examines the tasks of representative authorities in the development of
entrepreneurial activity, their legislative initiatives, and the legal basis of representative and
oversight functions. The relevance of the topic stems from the need to analyze the actual
effectiveness of these bodies’ participation.
The newly adopted Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan specifies which
organizations are the representative bodies of power. Specifically, Article 91 of the
Constitution stipulates that
“The Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan
is the supreme
state representative div
and exercises legislative power.”[1] Additionally, Article 120 of the
Constitution firmly establishes that “The Councils of People’s Deputies in regions, districts,
and cities (except for cities subordinate to districts)
are representative bodies of state
power.”
[2] Based on this, the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Councils of
People’s Deputies in regions, districts, and cities (except for cities subo
rdinate to districts)
can be considered representative bodies of power. The Oliy Majlis of the Republic of
Uzbekistan carries out representation at the national level, while the Councils of People’s
Deputies exercise representation at the regional, district, and city levels, by their respective
powers.

Stemming from the legal definition provided above, the Parliament, namely the Oliy
Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has tasks and functions aimed at developing
entrepreneurial activities in the regions and creating a favorable and stable economic
environment. These tasks and functions are analyzed from a legal perspective.
The Supreme State Representative Body of the Republic of Uzbekistan - the Oliy Majlis
- is one of the crucial components of state power, exercising legislative authority. According
to Article 91 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Oliy Majlis consists of two
chambers: the Legislative Chamber (lower chamber) and the Senate (upper chamber). Both
chambers are independent in terms of their powers, formation procedures, and functions;
however, they work together to form a unified parliamentary system.[3]
The joint and separate (absolute) powers of the Legislative Chamber and the Senate
of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan are clearly defined in the Constitution and
other regulatory legal acts. As an essential component of the state power system, these
powers serve to coordinate their activities in the political, economic, social, and legal
spheres. Notably, a significant portion of their authority is directly or indirectly related to
the development of entrepreneurial activity in the country, the establishment of free
economic relations, and the legal protection of private property.
In addition to the representative function, which is one of its main functions, the
parliament carries out a number of other important functions. These include legislative,
oversight, budget approval, appointment and confirmation, and ratification of international
treaties. These functions have existed since the inception of the parliamentary institution.
However, their content and level of priority, as well as the forms of their implementation,
have differed significantly depending on various historical periods, models of state
governance (monarchy, constitutional monarchy, parliamentary republic, presidential
republic), and regional political and economic conditions. Moreover, while the
representative function was dominant during some historical stages, in other periods the
legislative or oversight function was stronger. This demonstrates that the adaptability of the
parliamentary institution and its role in state governance have always been dependent on
historical and political circumstances.
Legal scholars have put forward various opinions on the issue of parliamentary
functions. Some researchers interpret the function of parliament as a form of activity
reflecting the main content and characteristics of this institution. From their perspective, the
most important functions of parliament are representation, legislation, and oversight of the
executive branch.
The representative, legislative, and oversight functions of parliament play a crucial
role in all spheres of society, including the development of entrepreneurial activity. Through
these functions, parliament not only provides a legal foundation for economic reforms but
also enables the representation and protection of entrepreneurs’ interests and the
formation of a supportive legal environment for their activities. Particularly, the
development of laws, regulations, and normative documents in the field of entrepreneurship
and the establishment of parliamentary oversight over their implementation serve as
practical expressions of this institution’s functions. Moreover, parliamentary act
ivity creates
opportunities to achieve strategic goals such as eliminating bureaucratic barriers in the
entrepreneurial sphere and creating a favorable and stable environment for investors. Thus,
the functions of parliament constitute the primary legal foundation of state policy aimed at
developing entrepreneurship.

Below, we will analyze each of these three main functions of parliament separately to
examine how they can improve the business environment in the country.
The legislative function of parliament
is one of its most fundamental functions. This
function involves the adoption, amendment, and repeal of laws in the state. The legislative
process typically consists of preparing, discussing, and voting on draft laws. Through this
function, parliament fulfills its democratic role as the legislative div of state power and
protects the interests of the people’s representatives.[4]
Regulating entrepreneurial activity through the legislative function of parliament is
an integral part of a modern state governed by the rule of law. This process is carried out
through various regulatory and institutional mechanisms, and within the framework of the
legislative system, fundamental legal norms regarding the activities of business entities are
established. In Uzbekis
tan’s experience, these mechanisms are based on a clear
constitutional foundation and parliamentary practice.
First and foremost, the parliament develops and discusses draft laws on
entrepreneurial activity based on legislative initiative. According to Article 98 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the right of legislative initiative is granted to the
President, the Republic of Karakalpakstan through its highest representative div of state
power, deputies of the Legislative Chamber, the Cabinet of Ministers, the Constitutional
Court, the Supreme Court, the Prosecutor General, the Senate, the Human Rights
Commissioner (Ombudsman), the Central Election Commission, and citizens’ initiative
groups (comprising more than 100,000 citizens). This ensures that a wide range of legal
issues related to entrepreneurship receives attention.[5]
Laws regulating entrepreneurial activity, including the Law “On Guarantees of
Freedom of Entrepreneurial Activity” the Law “On Competition” and the Law “On Licensing,
Permitting and Notification Procedures” as well as other related regulatory legal acts, a
re
among the primary legal documents establishing the legal foundation for entrepreneurial
activity in the Republic of Uzbekistan. These laws are directly developed by the Oliy Majlis
(Supreme Assembly) of the Republic of Uzbekistan based on legislative initiative and are
adopted through constitutional procedures. Specialized committees within the parliament
play a crucial role in the development of these laws, particularly the Committee on Budget
and Economic Affairs, the Committee on Entrepreneurship, Competition Development and
Industrial Issues, and other relevant standing committees.
In international practice, the role of parliament’s legislative function in legally
ensuring economic freedom is widely recognized. In particular, according to the renowned
German legal scholar Ernst-
Wolfgang Böckenförde, since laws regulating economic activity
are developed by parliaments, they acquire democratic legitimacy and serve as the basis for
social consensus in society.[6] This approach is also reflected in the parliamentary system
of Uzbekistan, and the stages from the development of draft laws to public discussion, expert
review, assessment based on international experience, and signing by the President
demonstrate that this function is carried out through a complex system of mechanisms.
The legislative function of the parliament of the Republic of Uzbekistan, namely the
Oliy Majlis, is manifested in the following powers defined in the Constitution. Specifically,
within the framework of the joint powers of the Legislative Chamber and the Senate of the
Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan:
1) adopting the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, making amendments and
additions to it;

2) adopting constitutional laws and laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan, making
amendments and additions to them, and other powers can be mentioned.
Along with the aforementioned powers, other authorities related to the adoption of
decisions and programs, which are exercised jointly, also fall within the scope of the
legislative function.
Looking at the experience of foreign countries, we can see that even in most
developed nations, the legislative function is primarily carried out by the parliament. In
particular, in the USA, legislative powers are fully entrusted to Congress (the House of
Representatives and the Senate) by the Constitution (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 1).[7] In
Great Britain, parliamentary sovereignty also operates, meaning that legislation falls solely
under the authority of Parliament. The House of Commons is the primary legislative div,
while the House of Lords plays a consultative and analytical role.[8] Parliament is the
supreme legal authority in Great Britain, having the power to pass or repeal any law.
Parliamentary sovereignty is the most crucial component of the British Constitution.[9]
Similarly, in Germany, the legislative function belongs mainly to the Bundestag
(Grundgesetz, Art. 77), but the Bundesrat also participates in legislation, especially on issues
related to the federal structure. Draft laws are introduced by the government or members
of the Bundestag, analyzed, and coordinated by both chambers.[10]
The parliaments of the aforementioned foreign countries can also, through their
legislative function, develop and adopt laws aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, creating
favorable conditions for businesses, and establishing an attractive investment climate.
The second main function of Parliament is its
representative function
. The
representative function of parliament ensures the expression of
the people’s will and
enables citizens’ participation in state governance. When a deputy, aware of the poor road
quality in their constituency or the need for school repairs, raises these issues during
parliamentary sessions and attempts to address the problems by appealing to relevant
ministries and taking necessary measures, this serves as a practical example of the
representative function. Similarly, if a group of voters, such as small business
representatives, appeals to their deputy requesting a reduction in tax burden or
simplification of regulations, and the deputy prepares a bill to consider this matter in
parliament, this also exemplifies the representative function.[11]
The representative function of parliament, particularly in expressing the interests of
entrepreneurs, is implemented through various legal and organizational mechanisms. The
essence of this function is to bring the interests of citizens, including entrepreneurs, into
state policy through elected deputies. As stipulated in Article 91 of the Constitution of the
Republic of Uzbekistan, the Oliy Majlis operates as the supreme representative div of the
state, which allows the parliament to apply its representative role to the sphere of
entrepreneurship as well. The essence of this function is to make the voices of those who do
not directly hold political power, but actively participate in the economic process, heard
through parliament. In academic literature, this process is referred to as “indirect political
participation” or “social integration through representation”.[12]
The representative function of Parliament ensures that the interests of citizens,
including business entities, are taken into account in state policy. Currently, the “Committee
on Entrepreneurship, Competition Developme
nt, and Industrial Issues” operates under the
Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Through this
committee, the representative and legislative functions of the parliament are carried out in

the interests of business entities
. Within the committee’s framework, meetings with
entrepreneurs and public hearings are held, and draft laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan are
developed either on its initiative or at the instruction of the Legislative Chamber. This serves
as a practical form of representative activity, allowing the parliament to identify real needs
in the field of entrepreneurship and address them through regulatory and legal solutions.
The essence of the parliament’s representative function is realized not only through
expressing the will of the people in legislative activities but also through mechanisms aimed
at legitimizing the needs of social groups, especially the economically active stratum, namely
entrepreneurs. Scientific and theoretical sources interpret representation as a means of
ensuring the social legitimacy of state power. This closely links parliamentary activity with
socio-economic policy.
Examining foreign experience regarding the representative function of parliament,
we find that parliaments in other countries also carry out this function. For instance,
according to Article 24 of the French Constitution, the parliament consists of two chambers
- the National Assembly and the Senate, which represent the people. The deputies of the
National Assembly are directly elected and represent the nation at the national level, while
the Senate is formed based on territorial representation and represents the interests of local
self-government bodies.[13] In Austria, the system operates in a similar manner. According
to Article 24 of the Austrian Federal Constitution, the parliament is bicameral: the National
Council (Nationalrat) is directly elected by the people and exercises nationwide
representation, while the Federal Council (Bundesrat) represents the federal states.[14]
In carrying out the representative function, the parliaments of these foreign countries
represent the interests of both ordinary citizens and business entities.
In addition to legislative and representative functions, one of the third most
important functions of the parliament is its oversight function.
Parliamentary oversight functions
as a means of checks and balances, encompassing
measures taken by the parliament to monitor and inspect the activities of public
administration bodies and address identified shortcomings. Through this oversight
function, the parliament strives to ensure the legality and effectiveness of state bodies’
activities.[15]
The oversight function of parliament is a constitutional institution that ensures
balanced and accountable functioning of state power, the essence of which is manifested in
the practical implementation of the principles of the rule of law. The special significance of
this function is particularly evident in analyzing the implementation of legislative acts
regulating the economy and, specifically, entrepreneurial activity. The oversight function is
enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan as an integral part of
parliamentary powers (Articles 93, 94, 95 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan).
In practice, the application of this function in the economic sphere - that is, parliamentary
oversight of entrepreneurial activity - is carried out through several institutional
mechanisms: hearing reports from government members, parliamentary inquiries,
parliamentary hearings, control over the execution of the State budget, and so forth.
The oversight function of parliament is an integral part of parliamentary powers in
democratic states, which entails the legislative branch exercising continuous and systematic
control over the activities of the executive branch based on the criteria of legality,
expediency, and social justice. The political and legal essence of this function portrays the
parliament not only as a legislative div but also as an institution that ensures balanced

action of the executive branch. Through parliamentary oversight, democratic monitoring is
carried out to ensure that the activities of the government and state administration bodies
align with the interests of citizens.
In scholarly literature, the oversight function of parliament is often explained in close
connection with the “principle of accountability.” This principle forms the constitutional
foundation of democratic governance and signifies the necessity for balance between
branches of government and their responsibility to citizens for their actions. Particularly,
the continuous oversight of the executive branch by the legislative branch is a practical
manifestation of this principle. The presence of oversight strengthens parliament not only
as a div that issues normative legal decisions but also as an entity conducting political and
legal monitorin
g. One of the classics of political theory, James Madison, in his “Federalist
Papers” while establishing the principle of separation of powers, specifically emphasized the
limiting and balancing role of legislative power over the executive branch. In his v
iew, “every
system of government must possess the ability to limit power with power” which is achieved
by granting oversight authority to parliament. In Madison’s theory, parliamentary oversight
is explained not merely from a legal perspective, but also as a mechanism serving to ensure
political stability and aiming for equality among democratic institutions.[16]
In theory, parliamentary oversight is carried out in several main forms:
1) political control - the accountability of government members to parliament;
2) regulatory and legal oversight - monitoring the implementation of laws;
3) financial control - analyzing the targeted use of budget funds;
4) evaluation of socio-economic programs.
Effective mechanisms of parliamentary oversight include parliamentary inquiries,
government reports, parliamentary hearings, and others. These tools allow parliament to
analyze, evaluate, and critically review the activities of the executive branch and provide
appropriate recommendations. The development and effectiveness of the oversight function
are largely determined by the political authority of the parliament, the qualifications of
deputies, and the scope of legislative oversight powers.
To regulate the implementation of parliamentary oversight in the Republic of
Uzbekistan, a separate legislative act was adopted - Law
№
LRU-
403 “On Parliamentary
Control” passed on April 11, 2016. This law clearly defines the subjects, objects, and forms
of parliamentary oversight. As can be seen from this Law, the subjects of parliamentary
oversight are:
-
The Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan;
-
The Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan;
-
Committees and commissions of the Legislative Chamber and the Senate;
-
Factions of political parties in the Legislative Chamber;
-
Deputies of the Legislative Chamber;
-
Members of the Senate;
-
Human Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of
Uzbekistan.[17]
These entities, based on their authority, exercise the oversight function, which is one
of the three main functions of Parliament, in various forms. Thus, the effective and precise
implementation of laws, resolutions, and decrees adopted in all spheres of public life,
including entrepreneurship, economy, and investment, is ensured. The direct connection of
parliamentary oversight with economic activity, particularly in the sphere of

entrepreneurship, is manifested through economic freedom in the country, stability of
legislation, and transparency of implemented policies. Entrepreneurship is a socio-
economic institution that requires free economic initiative and a competitive environment.
Therefore, regulatory and control measures in this area should be implemented by all
branches of state power, especially parliament, based on a balanced and legal approach.
By monitoring the implementation of laws related to entrepreneurial activity,
Parliament can analyze their practical effectiveness, assess how executive bodies adhere to
these laws, and identify emerging issues. Particularly in the areas of tax policy, licensing,
permitting procedures, state subsidies, and competition protection, parliamentary oversight
serves as a connecting mechanism between the legislative and executive branches.
Moreover, through these control activities, parliamentary representatives act as direct
protectors of voters’ interests, including those of entrepreneurs. For instance, during the
process of reviewing government reports on state budget execution, members of parliament
have the opportunity to analyze the effectiveness of benefits, financial assistance, or
infrastructure projects allocated to support entrepreneurship. Based on this, parliamentary
representatives provide political recommendations to the government on advancing
legislative initiatives, improving existing laws, or addressing shortcomings in executive
activities. Parliamentary standing committees, especially those focused on economics and
finance, systematically analyze the implementation of legislation related to entrepreneurial
activity. This practice strengthens the parliament’s oversight function not only in form but
also in substance, demonstrating that legislative activity is oriented towards achieving
practical results.
The parliamentary oversight function also exists in foreign countries, which we will
examine below through the experiences of Poland and Lithuania. According to Article 95 of
the Polish Constitution, the Sejm (lower house) exercises parliamentary control over the
executive branch.[18] This control is carrie
d out through Najwyższa Izba Kontroli (NIK)
-
the Supreme Audit Office. The NIK is subordinate to the Sejm and oversees the state budget,
taxes, economic policy, and state expenditures related to entrepreneurship. NIK activities
are a key tool for assessing the financial environment and regulatory burden for
businesses.[19] According to Article 67 of the Lithuanian Constitution, the Seimas
(Parliament) exercises parliamentary control over the executive power, particularly in
matters of economic activity.[20] This control is implemented through the Lithuanian
National Audit Office (Valstybės Kontrolė). Audit reports are submitted to the Seimas, where
taxes, licensing procedures, and regulatory barriers affecting business entities are
evaluated.
The Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as the legislative branch of state power,
possesses unparalleled constitutional authority in developing entrepreneurial activity in the
country. Both chambers of the Oliy Majlis actively participate in creating a favorable
environment for business entities not only through the development of legislative
frameworks but also by monitoring their implementation, forming financial mechanisms,
adopting state strategic programs, and regulating the state budget and taxes. Specifically,
mechanisms such as the Legislative Chamber’s discussion of laws regulating
entrepreneurship, oversight of State budget execution, and hearings of government
members’ reports serve to develop economic activity on a legal basis. The Senate
strengthens the mechanism for monitoring law implementation at the regional level by
assisting local representative bodies of state power in carrying out their activities, sending

parliamentary inquiries to state officials, and implementing other forms of parliamentary
control, as well as supporting entrepreneurship through economic policy decisions. The
powers of the Oliy Majlis directly and indirectly serve to strengthen entrepreneurial
infrastructure, ensure legal guarantees, eliminate bureaucratic barriers, and foster a free
economic environment. This acts as a crucial political and legal foundation for the
development of Uzbekistan as a stable state based on a market economy and the principle
of the rule of law.
In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the role of representative bodies of power in
developing entrepreneurial activity holds particular importance as a crucial link in public
administration. Functions carried out by these bodies, such as adopting normative legal acts,
introducing legislative initiatives, and overseeing executive branch activities at the
parliamentary and local levels, create opportunities for legal certainty, economic stability,
and guaranteed operations for business entities. Within its powers, the parliament actively
participates in strengthening t
he legal foundation of the country’s economic reforms by
shaping legal mechanisms that directly impact the entrepreneurship sphere. Notably, the
development and adoption of draft laws addressing socio-economic issues through their
right of legislative initiative serve to improve existing regulatory mechanisms.
Furthermore, through the implementation of control functions by representative
authorities, monitoring of entrepreneurial activity is conducted based on the principles of
legality, transparency, and accountability. This emerges as a significant factor in maintaining
social and economic balance and ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens.
In general, today, representative bodies of power are emerging as democratic
institutions that actively participate in the economic life of Uzbekistan, provide legal support
for the entrepreneurship sector, and play an important role in public administration. Legal
analysis of their powers allows for a deep understanding of the current factors in effectively
regulating entrepreneurial activity.
Based on the scientific and legal analysis and research conducted in practice, the
article puts forward several proposals to further improve the Parliament’s performance of
functions aimed at developing entrepreneurial activity:
1.
Ensuring the participation of representatives of business entities in the plenary
sessions of the Legislative Chamber
.
It is necessary to ensure the participation of representatives of business entities in
the discussions of laws related to entrepreneurship, business, investment, and other
economic issues during the plenary sessions of the Legislative Chamber. In this case, the
representative of the business entity, based on real practice, can express their opinion on
the draft law being adopted and make proposals. This plays an important role in regulating
social relations connected to existing entrepreneurship.
2.
Strengthening parliamentary representation mechanisms in expressing the interests
of business entities.
The regular dialogue between deputies of local and central electoral districts and
business entities should be established as a legal norm, meaning each deputy should be
obliged to hold official meetings with business representatives in their territory at least
twice a year. As a result, legislative initiatives will be formed based on real economic needs,
and entrepreneurs will begin to perceive parliament as their representative.
