Regulated professions: Public-private partnership for drafting legislation This research is about the cooperation between the government and a professional association in the regulation of professions. Well-known regulated professions are the classic professions such as doctors, lawyers and notaries. For the regulation of these professions, both the government and the professional association have an important responsibility. When regulating other professions in cooperation between the government and a professional association, the responsibility of the professional association or of the government may also be more limited. This research focuses on how the government and the professional association can achieve a division of responsibilities in regulating a profession. The division of the responsibility between the government and a professional association for the regulation of a profession is the result of a process of negotiation in the creation of laws. During this negotiation process, the parties involved do not only negotiate the drafting of legislation, but also the joint responsibility for the implementation of the regulations by assigning tasks and powers to these parties. This provides an additional dimension compared to other, regular legislative processes or negotiated law-making processes, where only the government is responsible for the exercise of tasks and powers. In order to determine the outcome of the drafting process, the question arises as to what drafters of regulations should pay attention to in order to achieve the intended purpose of regulating a profession. The purpose of this research is to help politicians, lawyers and policy officers involved in the drafting of legislation to make decisions about the allocation of responsibilities between the parties involved in protecting the public and private interests involved in regulation.
