Kormányrendelet

A kormányrendelet is a type of legal act in Hungary. It is issued by the Government of Hungary and has the force of law. The Government can issue kormányrendelet when Parliament is not in session or when it deems it necessary for the swift implementation of legislation. These decrees are typically used to elaborate on or supplement existing laws passed by Parliament.

The authority for the Government to issue kormányrendelet is derived from the Constitution of Hungary. While they have the power of law, kormányrendeletek must be consistent with the Constitution and with acts passed by Parliament. They are published in the official gazette, Magyar Közlöny, to ensure public access and transparency.

Kormányrendeletek are a significant tool in the Hungarian legal system, allowing the executive branch to respond to changing circumstances and administrative needs. They are subject to review by the Constitutional Court, which can declare them unconstitutional if they violate fundamental legal principles or the Constitution itself. The issuance and scope of kormányrendeletek are an important aspect of Hungary's separation of powers and legislative process.
