Parliament Information Act
Parliament information laws ( PIG ) and Landtag information laws ( LIG ) are laws that deal with the state government's information obligations towards the state parliament .
For example, the state government should inform the state parliament at an early stage about draft laws , state planning or major projects as well as about important state treaties , administrative agreements , preparation of statutory ordinances and administrative regulations , about participation in the Federal Council , cooperation with the federal government , the states , other states and international institutions as well as matters of Inform the European Union and its bodies .
Parliament information laws exist in the federal states of Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt , where the law was called the Landtag Information Act, and in Schleswig-Holstein .
criticism
Some of the objection to the parliamentary information laws is that, as a parliamentary law below the rank of the state constitution, they would unconstitutionally modify substantive state constitutional law and, in particular, would limit partially non-exhaustive lists of information obligations of the state government vis-à-vis the parliament by means of an expanded but exhaustive list.
