This thesis discusses the matter of presenting the legislative process within the
Republic of Slovenia, on the example of the Student Status Act (ZUPŠ-1). For many
years, multiple pieces of research conducted on the national and international levels
have been issuing warnings regarding the fragile social position of Slovenian students.
This has brought forth the necessity of a new legal regulation that would alter their
social position. The ZUPŠ-1 proposal was prepared by the Student Organisation of
Slovenia. Within our research conducted for our thesis, we are interested in the amount
of inclusion the student public had during the process of drafting the new law,
especially since the largest effects of the later accepted law directly impacted the
position of the students themselves. Within the example of the ZUPŠ-1, we are also
interested in the amount of change to the original proposal that came from the issued
amendments.
The theoretical part of the thesis first presents the representative legislative body using
descriptive methodology followed by defining the legislative process presenting the
subjects within the legislative process, as well as the role of the Student Organisation
of Slovenia.
In the analytical part of the thesis, using the descriptive method, the method of
analyzing secondary sources, and the method of interview, we shall present the entire
legislative procedure regarding the admission of the ZUPŠ-1 proposal with an
emphasis on filed amendments and the analysis of public inclusion within the
preparation procedure of the legislative proposal.
Within the framework of the thesis, it was discovered that the amendments had a large
influence on the substantive provisions within the proposed law and that the student
public was involved in the process of preparing the legislative proposal indirectly
through its elected representatives.
