Uchwalenia

Uchwalenia is a Polish legal term referring to the act of enacting, adopting, or approving a law, regulation, or other binding act by a legislative or governing body. Derived from the verb uchwalić, it denotes the formal moment when a measure gains legal force after prescribed procedures and, in most cases, publication. The term is commonly used in reference to public law, including statutes (ustawy), local ordinances (uchwały samorządowe), and financial measures such as budgets.

In legal practice and political discourse, uchwalenia describe the completion of the legislative process: proposal, committee consideration, readings, possible amendments, and a formal vote. Depending on the body and the type of act, different thresholds or rules may apply. Once an act is approved, it typically requires signature by competent authorities and publication in the appropriate official gazette, such as the Journal of Laws (Dziennik Ustaw) in Poland, before it enters into force.

The term can be used to refer to a single enactment or to the set of enacted acts within a given period. In journalism and academic writing, phrases like “uchwalenia ustaw” or “uchwalenie budżetu” are common when reporting on legislative activity or analyzing the legislative output of a term of office.
