Unlike other institutions, where violation cases are almost always examined individually, local and regional governments still use a collegial decision-making model in administrative commissions. This approach is time-consuming, more expensive and does not improve the quality of decisions. The State Audit Office of Latvia calls for abandoning the collegial form of commissions in the administrative violation process by moving to a simpler and more effective model, thus reducing red tape and administrative burden. Savings in municipal budgets can reach 1.12 million euros per year.
