Proposition de loi portant extension de la loi du 9 décembre 1905 à la collectivité territoriale unique de Guyane

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This private member's bill in the French National Assembly proposes extending the 1905 law on the separation of Churches and State to French Guiana, which is now a single territorial authority (collectivité territoriale unique). The 1905 law is the foundation of French secularism (laïcité). It separates the state from religious organisations, ends state recognition of religions, and governs how public authorities relate to religious life. Based on the title alone, the bill would make this law fully applicable in the territory, where it does not currently apply in the same way. The main people affected would be residents of French Guiana, along with religious associations and local and state authorities operating there. The bill's exact provisions, transition arrangements and any exceptions cannot be determined from the metadata alone and would need to be checked in the full legislative text.
