← 🇫🇷 Assemblée nationale/PROJET OU PROPOSITION DE LOI CONSTITUTIONNELLEan-dossier-543088

Garantir le respect des principes de la démocratie représentative et de l'État de droit en cas de législation par ordonnance

Stage committeeUpdated 4d ago

This French constitutional bill proposes measures to ensure that lawmaking by ordinance (ordonnance), where the government adopts rules normally passed by Parliament, respects the principles of representative democracy and the rule of law. Ordinances let the executive legislate under powers delegated by Parliament, and this bill aims to set firmer safeguards around that process. The metadata does not reveal the specific provisions, so this summary is based on the title and type only. The main groups affected are members of the National Assembly and Senate, who would see their legislative role in such delegations shaped, and citizens whose laws are made through this route. Government ministries that rely on ordinances would also be affected. The full text would clarify the exact changes.
