The law on the legal relationships of the members of the state government , or ministerial law for short , is a state law of Lower Saxony . It regulates the official relationship of the ministers and the prime minister to the state of Lower Saxony.
The ministerial law consists of 20 paragraphs. It regulates, among other things, that ministers are "not allowed to exercise any other paid office, trade or profession besides their office" (Section 5), the remuneration of the members of the state government (Section 9) and pension and pension entitlements .
According to Section 5, Paragraph 4 of the Ministerial Act, the members of the state government may not accept any rewards or gifts in relation to their office, even after their term of office has ended. The state government can, however, allow exceptions. This regulation was important in 2011 in connection with the acceptance of a cheap personal loan by the then Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Christian Wulff, and the Wulff affair .
