Federal Law Gazette (Germany)
The German Federal Law Gazette ( BGBl. ) Is the public announcement gazette of the Federal Republic of Germany . It is from the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection to Bonn issued and by the DuMont media group belonging publishing Federal Gazette distributed.
No federal law is valid if it has not been promulgated in the Federal Law Gazette ( Art. 82.1 sentence 1 GG ). In that case, however, retroactive validity of a law is also possible within the narrow limits of the rule of law.
history
The Federal Law Gazette has been published since the proclamation of the Basic Law ( Federal Law Gazette 1949, p. 1 ) and is thus the successor to the Reich Law Gazette published from 1871 to 1945 . It has been published in two parts since 1951. The parts are given in Roman numerals. The Federal Law Gazette was available free of charge on the Internet for issues from 1998 onwards , and all issues since 1949 were available as part of a paid subscription. Since April 22, 2009 all issues can be viewed free of charge. The only official edition is still the printed edition.
After the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany (OKF) had criticized that the online edition of the Federal Law Gazette could only be searched, printed and copied for a fee, in December 2018 it opened its own portal with the contents of the Bundesanzeiger Verlag, accepting a copyright conflict with the Bundesanzeiger Verlag Federal Law Gazette freely on the Internet. A few days later, Federal Justice Minister Katarina Barley announced to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that federal laws and ordinances should only be published electronically from 2022. A citizen portal will be set up for this purpose. First, however, the Basic Law must be changed and the contract with DuMont terminated.
