機關的組織與建制是任何一個國家生存發展的原動力,其中更以國會體制的完備為民主政治發展的先決條件;近代國家隨著社會福利國的演進,政府職能不斷擴張,行政權須為人民服務的範疇越來越廣,政府的施政行為在在需要法律基礎或授權,換言之需要國會加速立法、密切監督的地方也越來越多;此外,在行政權日益膨脹下,倘國會無法透過組織的調整及相關制度的檢討來發揮其重要的國會監督功能,則顯然又違現代民主國家分權(separation)與制衡(checks and balances)理念;因此,如何使我國國會之議事品質與立法效率逐步提升,實為當前重要課題。 我國憲法經六次修憲後完成增修條文十條,其中確定了國會組織即為立法院,同時自第四屆起立委名額增加為225人,為保持、提升議事效率並使運作順暢,遂於民國88、89年分別修訂完成所謂國會五法,包含有立法院組織法、職權行使法、立法委員行為法、委員會組織法及議事規則等。本文即以此五法與憲法增修條文為根基,分從立法提案、委員會審查、議程安排、院會討論、法案公佈與覆議權等方面,探討與檢視當前之立法程序,並提出相關建言俾供參考。
