reinstitution

Returning something official

Reinstitution is the act of establishing something again after it has been discontinued or abolished.

A government might order the reinstitution of a ban previously lifted, or advocates might push for the reinstitution of policies that had lapsed.

The word carries a sense of formal restoration rather than casual resumption.
