Abstract
This paper is devoted to the consideration of applying legislative technologies by political actors in the legislative process. The key features of such technologies are their replicability, strict procedure framework and the legislative process as the field of their application.
The paper examines how political actors used specific techniques, depending on their purposes, such as speeding up, slowing down or block the adoption of a particular political decision. It was also noted that the key actors of the legislative process are the president, the government and parlamentaries.
It was found that the procedures of the legislative process are an important part of legislative technologies. A political actor can manipulate them and exert to the result of legislative process and the specific characteristic of the decisions taken.
At the same time, the political entity of the legal framework legislative process begins to work, provided that the political actor has the will.
