törvénycikk

Törvénycikk is a Hungarian term that translates to "statute" or "law." It refers to a legislative act passed by the Hungarian Parliament. These laws are formal pronouncements that establish rules, regulations, or principles that are binding within Hungary. A törvénycikk typically addresses a specific subject matter, such as civil rights, criminal procedure, economic policy, or administrative matters. The process of creating a törvénycikk involves proposal, debate, amendment, and voting within the parliamentary framework. Once enacted, it is promulgated and becomes part of the Hungarian legal system. The application and interpretation of törvénycikkek are then the responsibility of the judiciary and administrative bodies. The term emphasizes the formal, codified nature of legislation in Hungary.
