Révision de l'article 61 de la Constitution

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French constitutional bill to amend Article 61 of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic. Article 61 governs how laws are checked by the Constitutional Council (Conseil constitutionnel) before they take effect, including organic laws and the referral procedure. Changes to it would alter how and when laws can be reviewed for constitutionality. This summary is based only on the title and metadata, not the full text of the proposal. The main people affected would be members of Parliament, the President, and others entitled to refer laws to the Constitutional Council, as well as citizens whose laws are subject to that review. The exact changes depend on the text, which the metadata does not reveal.
