Bavarian State Government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bavarian State Chancellery, Munich

The Bavarian State Government is the highest executive authority of the Free State of Bavaria in the Bavarian political system . It consists of the Bavarian Prime Minister and up to 17 state ministers and state secretaries .

Legal basis

Constitutional foundations

Section four of the first main part of the Bavarian Constitution defines the composition of the cabinet with the Prime Minister and up to 17 state ministers and state secretaries.

The Prime Minister elected by the Bavarian State Parliament appoints and dismisses the State Ministers and State Secretaries with the consent of the State Parliament. He assigns the ministers of state a business area or a special task, which they manage independently according to the departmental principle and the policy guidelines ( guideline competence ) determined by the prime minister . The state secretaries are bound by instructions from their state ministers. The status of the Bavarian State Secretaries is similar to that of the Parliamentary State Secretaries of the Federation, who, however, are not members of the government and as a rule must belong to the Bundestag, while the Bavarian State Secretaries can belong to the Landtag, but do not have to. The permanent state secretaries of almost all other federal states and the federal government, who as a rule perform the function of the heads of the ministries, correspond to the ministerial directors in Bavaria .

The Bavarian State Chancellery supports the Prime Minister and the State Government in their constitutional tasks. These are in particular:

  • the implementation of the laws and resolutions of the state parliament
  • the right of initiative
  • the appointment of senior officials in the state ministries and the highest state authorities
  • the supervision of the entire state administration
  • the supervision of the municipalities and the corporations and foundations under public law
  • the exercise of emergency law

Ministerial Law

The other legal relationships of the members of the state government are regulated in the law on the legal relationships of the members of the state government.
