Online law
One could think, in our modern internet driven world, accessing full texts of acts and other law documents should be a basic right of the citizens, because the simplicity of putting the texts online.
Most acts are written already as digital documents and most time they are published in official journals. These journal should be accessible online.
However, when someone needs to search for a specific act, journals may no be the best choice, as they only publish newly added or changed texts. No, I cannot imagine that governments can make it searchable :)
The sad case in Hungary is that there are no freely searchable law sites. I have found one, that looks like the most usable on the market: Opten Törvénytár Light. Törvénytár means law collection.
A bright, followable example is Germany, where the Minsitry of Justice together with a private company made it all freely available to citizens. The site is available at bundesrecht.justiz.de.
