Kormányrendeletek

Kormányrendeletek, or government decrees, are a form of legislation in Hungary. They are issued by the government and have the force of law, though they are subordinate to acts of parliament. These decrees are typically used to implement specific provisions of laws passed by the National Assembly, providing detailed regulations and practical guidelines for their application.

The authority to issue kormányrendeletek stems from the Hungarian Constitution and specific laws. The government, headed by the Prime Minister, is responsible for their creation and promulgation. They are published in the Hungarian Official Gazette (Magyar Közlöny) to become legally binding. While they carry significant legal weight, they cannot contradict or alter the fundamental principles established by parliamentary legislation. Their purpose is to ensure the effective and efficient execution of laws, addressing specific issues that require detailed governmental regulation. Kormányrendeletek are a crucial tool in the Hungarian legislative process, allowing for flexibility and timely response to evolving societal needs within the framework of democratically enacted laws.
