lagasamþykktra

Lagasamþykktra is an Icelandic term that translates to "legal approval" or "statutory approval." It refers to the process by which a piece of legislation or a regulatory measure is formally adopted and given legal standing within Iceland. This process typically involves several stages, beginning with the introduction of a bill in the Althingi, the Icelandic parliament.

Following its introduction, a bill undergoes committee review, where it is examined in detail by relevant parliamentary committees. This stage often involves public consultation and expert opinions. Subsequently, the bill is debated and voted upon by the full Althingi. For a bill to become law, it must pass through multiple readings and receive a majority vote. Once passed by the Althingi, the law is then formally sanctioned by the President of Iceland, at which point it enters into force and becomes legally binding. The term lagasamþykktra encompasses all these steps, signifying the culmination of the legislative process and the official establishment of a new law. This ensures that all enacted laws have undergone rigorous scrutiny and adhere to the established legal framework of the country.
