Technically, I guess it's do-able, but it sounds really awkward.
Not sure provisions is the word you want either in a legal context. Provisions often refer to conditions in a clause.
perhaps regulations?

Provision/regulation recipients

RES-can:

thx! are you sure you about provisions? i mean, i've heard this term everyday for the last 4 month and it seems to me sort of interchangeable with "section" or "statute". at least here in the UK...

Not certain for UK, but this is how I usually see it (insurance) and as per RH Webster:

3. an arrangement or preparation made beforehand, as to meet
needs.
4. a clause in a law, legal instrument, etc., providing for
something; stipulation; proviso.

"Bestimmung" - is that the word you want?

"Bestimmung" would be just one word out of a whole bunch of others, eg.: "Vorschrift", "Gesetz", "Paragraph", "Norm"...

it depends pretty much how specific you want to be.

So, when I write a German legal text I refer to a statute in many ways (see above) and I guess you can take the same liberty in English...

Actually no, dave-2, I would not take the same liberty in EN, especially in a legal text.
Sorry I can't explain it better, but I would not use provisions for statutes or sections.

I would certainly not use addressee. Rather try the "target group which these provisions relate to" or merely "the relevant target group addressed by these provisions" or something to that effect.

I happened upon this interesting thread, and would like to add a few comments for future reference.

First, in my experience it is indeed common (at least for American lawyers) to refer to provisions in (or of) legal documents or laws (including statutes, regulations, rules, judgments, orders, contracts, etc.). For example, "There is a provision in the Federal Rules of Evidence--Rule 802--that addresses that very issue."

Or: "The provisions of the Internal Revenue Code dealing with homeownership are just as opaque as the rest of the Code."

Or: "There are many provisions in the law that allow such conduct." "Really? Name one!" "[State] Code, Section 39-3-56."


Also, I agree that one should not use "addressee" for the context mentioned in the OP.

The right word or phrase for "Adressaten" will probably depend on the situation--perhaps "those affected by the statute" or "those at the focus of this legislation," among other possibilities, and (only) maybe "those addressed by this statute."
