Abstract

The existence of regional institutions that have similarities with state institutions nomenclature but it needs to be analyzed whether regional institutions are derivatives of state institutions or instead regional governments are given autonomy to form regional institutions as long as they are regulated in laws and regulations and needed by regional governments. This study used normative juridical methods. The results showed that local governments have the authority to make proposals and procedures for the administration of local government regulated in law because they are accommodated in Article 18 paragraph (7) of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Year 1945 so that if needed, local governments can form regional institutions as long as needed by regional governments and can innovate on regional institutional concepts that are needed and not necessarily  conform to the concept of state institutions.
