Omnibus procedure

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An omnibus procedure (from the Latin omnibus 'for all' ) is used when several processes are combined into one process.

The omnibus procedure is used in politics when passing legislation.

In a draft (the " omnibus ") with amendments, further points (" passengers ") are added, thus the interweaving of the different issues is achieved through the so-called omnibus procedure. In this way, changes in the law can also be carried out that would fail in an individual decision, but are accepted in the package so that the package of decisions "gets through". Similar to the vote of confidence, it is therefore an instrument for organizing majorities in parliament, even against the conviction of the majority of MPs. Typically, the omnibus procedure is rejected and criticized by the respective opposition .

Laws that arise in the omnibus procedure are usually promulgated as article laws .
