Summary/Abstract: Impact assessment originated in the USA in the 1970s. Subsequently, almost all countries in the developed world introduced various forms of regulatory impact analysis and assessment. In Bulgaria, impact assessment has been talked about since the beginning of the 21st century. The creation of a legal framework, methodological documentation and administrative capacity begins. Academia and some non-governmental organizations are actively involved in the noble undertaking. Various programs and projects are being implemented. However, during the first 15 years, there were no serious practical results. In 2016, the impact assessment received its (long-awaited) legal regulation. A series of by-laws and methodological documents follows. A certain administrative capacity is being formed. There are decisive steps in the right direction and the results (although still modest) are not long in coming. This scientific report is dedicated to the genesis and development of impact assessment, the current regulation and practical impact assessment in Bulgaria over the last 7 years.
