Projet de loi interprétative des articles 1er, 3, 8, 10 et 13 de la loi du 3 mai 1880 sur les enquêtes parlementaires.

This Belgian government bill would interpret five articles (1, 3, 8, 10 and 13) of the law of 3 May 1880 on parliamentary inquiries. That 1880 law governs how parliamentary committees investigate matters of public interest, including their powers to summon witnesses and hear testimony. An interpretive law does not create new rules but sets out how existing provisions should be understood, which can settle legal uncertainty. Based on the metadata only, not the full text. The bill mainly concerns the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, its inquiry committees, and people who may be called as witnesses or otherwise involved in an inquiry. Its precise effects depend on how the clarified articles are worded, which is not described in the metadata.
