Proposition de loi visant à rendre cessible le droit d'affouage

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a private member's bill tabled in the French National Assembly, titled 'visant à rendre cessible le droit d'affouage'. The affouage is a traditional right, found mainly in rural and forested municipalities, that lets local residents cut firewood from communal forests for their own use. The bill seeks to make this right transferable, meaning it could be passed on or assigned under certain conditions. Based on the title alone, the full content and final wording are not known. The bill would mainly concern residents of French communes that grant affouage rights, as well as local councils that manage communal woodlands. Foresters and rural households relying on firewood could also be affected. The exact changes depend on the bill's text, which is not included in this summary.
