The Parliament Act came into force on December 1, 2003 and replaced the Business Transaction Act (GVG) of 1962. According to the report of the National Council's State Political Commission, this total revision pursued two goals: In the Federal Constitution of 1999, the tasks of the Federal Assembly and the powers of Federal Assembly and Federal Council made. These new constitutional provisions should be implemented at the legislative level. The Business Transaction Act was out of date and, due to numerous partial revisions, had become confusing. The new law should create a clear system with understandable language and eliminate inconsistencies in the previous law.
