Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n°2022-408 du 23 mars 2022 relative au régime de responsabilité financière des gestionnaires publics

This French bill would ratify Ordinance No. 2022-408 of 23 March 2022, which reforms the system of financial liability that applies to public managers, the officials responsible for handling public money and resources. A government ordinance is issued under powers delegated by Parliament. Ratification means Parliament approves it, giving it the force of law. Based on the title alone, the aim is to set out when and how public managers can be held financially accountable for errors or breaches in managing public funds. The main groups affected are public accountants and managers in the French public sector, along with the bodies that oversee public finances. The full text of the ordinance and any amendments made during the parliamentary debate would show the exact changes to their obligations and liabilities.
