Actually this is surprising, imho. Accessible laws and regulations are a condicio sine qua non for lawyers. And while they are as likeble as sharks they* always defended open laws - secret laws are bad news for lawyers and general public access does not devaluate the legal market**.
* in my case mostly the German organisations representing lawyers, but I thought this is part of the global professional ethics
** reading the laws does not really help laypersons, sooner or later a lawyer is necessary
