تعميم الحاقي

English translation: Follow-up public announcement

Law/Patents - Law (general)
Arabic term or phrase: تعميم الحاقي
As far as I understand, the government of Saudi Arabia issues statements called تعميمات الحاقية to encourage people to abide by published regulations. They are published as an attachment to the original law. If you open the link below, the first page is titled تعميم. What would that be called in English? **Note that I do NOT want to use the word "circular" unless absolutely necessary. US English speakers will likely not know the meaning of the word circular as a noun.**

Context: كانت الهيئة قد أصدرة تعميما

جددت الهيئة ... تأكيدها على إلزام مرافق الإيواء السياحي باستخدام اللغة العربية ... عبر تعميم إلحاقي.

English translation:Follow-up public announcement
Explanation:
The word تعميم is the common word used in Saudi Arabia for a public announcement of any kind. The content could be a new directive or law, a clarification of an existing directive, or an amendment of an existing directive or law. Whatever the case may be, it is an announcement for the public.

Therefore, تعميم إلحاقي would be a "follow-up public announcement."
