Abstract

This study examines the normative construction of fictitious positive decisions following the enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation and proposes an ideal regulatory model for the mandated Presidential Regulation. The Job Creation Law fundamentally altered the fictitious positive mechanism by shortening the response period, abolishing judicial resolution through the State Administrative Court, and delegating essential regulatory details to a Presidential Regulation. However, the absence of this regulation has created a legal vacuum, producing a dualistic landscape in which administrative silence may be construed either as approval under the Government Administration Law or as rejection under the State Administrative Court Law. This ambiguity undermines legal certainty and the protection of citizens’ rights. Employing normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, this study analyzes the deficiencies of the current framework and formulates a comprehensive model for the Presidential Regulation. The proposed model addresses six critical dimensions: the form and legal status of fictitious positive decisions; a confirmation procedure for applicants; robust oversight by the Ombudsman and internal supervisory bodies; residual judicial protection; progressive digitalization through the Online Single Submission system; and periodic evaluation. The study concludes that enacting the Presidential Regulation is not merely a statutory obligation but a constitutional imperative to reconcile the legislative choice to administrativize fictitious positive resolution with the principles of legal certainty, access to justice, and protection against administrative inaction. The model offers a coherent framework for restoring legitimacy and effectiveness to a mechanism currently rendered ineffective by prolonged regulatory inaction.
