← 🇫🇷 Assemblée nationale/PROJET OU PROPOSITION DE LOI CONSTITUTIONNELLEan-dossier-540848

Consacrer la prééminence constitutionnelle de la laïcité et à l’inscrire dans la devise nationale

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French constitutional bill proposed in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature (2022-2024). Its title indicates two aims: to give secularism (laïcité) a higher constitutional status, meaning it would take precedence over other constitutional principles, and to add it to the national motto. Changes to the Constitution require a special procedure, so the bill's fate depends on a formal parliamentary vote. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. If adopted, the change would affect the French state, public institutions, and the wider legal framework governing relations between the state, religion, and public life. Citizens and residents would be affected in how secularism is interpreted and applied. The exact scope of any change would depend on the final wording of the text.
