újraszabályozhatóság

újraszabályozhatóság is a term used to describe the capacity of a regulatory framework to be revised, redesigned, or updated in response to new information, changing conditions, or technological developments. The concept emphasizes the ease, speed, and legitimacy with which rules can be amended without compromising overall governance goals.

The term is formed in Hungarian from újra- (again), szabályozás (regulation), and the suffix -hatóság, indicating possibility or capacity. In policy discussions, újraszabályozhatóság is treated as a design property of regulation, to be considered alongside effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness. Key features include modular rule design, sunset provisions, clear amendment procedures, adaptive mechanisms, and transparent decision processes. It often involves explicit triggers for review, data-informed assessments, and mechanisms for stakeholder consultation.

Benefits of high újraszabályozhatóság include greater resilience to shocks, continued relevance amid rapid technological change, and the ability to correct unintended consequences. It can enhance innovation by lowering the cost of regulatory updates and by enabling iterative policy learning. However, there are trade-offs: excessive flexibility can reduce legal certainty, lead to policy instability, and increase compliance costs if not carefully managed.

Related concepts include adaptive regulation, dynamic governance, sunset clauses, and ex post adjustment mechanisms. In practice, achieving an appropriate level of újraszabályozhatóság requires balancing predictability with responsiveness, ensuring clear governance paths, and building institutional capacity for regular, evidence-based revisions.
