creativeness on the scale of the ministry, specifying the status of each of the subjects of law-
creativeness. 
As you can see, law-creativeness activity at the departmental level is quite complex. It 
seems possible to define the activity under consideration as follows: departmental law-creativeness 
is an organizational and legal activity implemented by executive authorities (ministries, state 
committees, agencies, etc.) to adopt normative legal acts containing mandatory requirements and 
rules of conduct regulating a certain area of public relations. Among the most important features of 
departmental law-creativeness, one should include its sub-legislative nature, limited scope of 
competence and scope of the department, strict regulation, use strictly when it is objectively 
necessary. 
So, departmental rule-creativeness is carried out by a certain circle of bodies, which, in 
accordance with their competence, implement the law-creativeness function. At the same time, they 
perform this function in two main forms: by participating in the legislative process (development, 
discussion, examination and approval of draft laws, acts of the head of state and government), as 
well as by their own development and adoption of departmental legal acts. 
Some authors, rightly pointing out the inadmissibility of replacing legal regulation with 
subordinate regulation, dismissively define it as “the so-called departmental law-creativeness” [11]. 
Indeed, departmental rule-creativeness that replaces legislative regulation, the results of which 
contradict laws or are characterized by excessive regulation of social relations, is rightly criticized. 
However, does this indicate the need for a complete rejection of it, does it indicate the possibility of 
regulating social relations without departmental rule-creativeness? We believe that there can be no 
unambiguous answer here. 
In the legal literature, the problems of the legitimacy, necessity and limits of departmental 
rule-creativeness have not yet been resolved, since it is clear that the implementation of the rule of 
law principle, the idea of their direct action, does not imply a complete disregard for the value of 
departmental rule-creativeness. Common sense suggests that legal practice, the mechanism of legal 
regulation cannot, with all their desire, do without departmental legal regulation. It should be 
recognized, for example, that the idea of a complete rejection of departmental rule-creativeness is 
untenable, it is utopian, this type of law-creativeness is necessary and in demand, of course - within 
reasonable limits and within clearly defined limits. At the same time, the most important reason for 
the need for its existence is the need for legal support for the function of public administration, 
implemented by ministries and departments in their area of responsibility. 
It is generally accepted that departmental legal acts are related to by-laws. In Art. 11 “Limits 
of regulation of by-laws” of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On normative legal acts” 
establishes the rule according to which the by-laws do not allow the establishment of norms on 
issues subject to regulation at the level of legislative acts [12]. This law uses the wording “on the 
basis of and in pursuance of the Constitution and laws”, “within the limits of its powers”. What are 
the specific criteria for determining the subject and scope of departmental legal acts? 
We consider it appropriate to note the following. First, the law expressly and unambiguously 
secured the right of the ministries to adopt normative legal acts, if the legislative acts of higher 
authorities give them the authority to adopt the relevant normative legal acts or legal regulation of 
public relations (Article 14). Secondly, the legal acts of ministries affecting the rights, freedoms and 
legitimate interests of citizens, which are binding on organizations outside the system of this 
ministry or interdepartmental in nature, are subject to state registration with the Ministry of Justice 
of the Republic of Uzbekistan and come into force only after their official publication. If they have 
not passed state registration, they do not entail legal consequences [13]. Thirdly, the Ministry of 
Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan not only monitors and reviews the legal acts adopted by the
