Reformpläne und ‐versuche seit dem Österreich‐Konvent. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2021|
This paper discusses plans and attempts to reform the existing distribution of competences between the Austrian federal state and the Länder over the past 20 years. The Austrian Constitutional Convention held its meetings from 2003–2005. It resulted in a proposal for a new Austrian Constitution; however, very little of the comprehensive reform project has been implemented so far. With regard to the distribution of competences, current reforms seem to be the outcome of dayto‐ day‐policy lacking an overall approach. The elimination of Art. 12 from the Federal Constitution (framework legislation), the transfer of the responsibility for the implementation of laws from the federal state to the Länder, and a new procedure to consensually share legislative powers (‘consensus legislation’) are part of the discussion
Reichsgesetz und Landesgesetz. Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der altösterreichischen Kompetenzverteilung. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2021|
Until 1918, the distribution of competences in the Western part of the Habsburg Empire (Cisleithania, Austria) was based on constitutional acts from 1861 and 1867. The distribution of competences in the ‘February patent’ of 1861 was clear‐cut (at least in theory), but there was no procedure to change it. Nevertheless, it was changed when the December Constitution was enacted in 1867. In practice, there were two – closely linked – problems with the distribution of competences. On the one hand, it was not always clear whether the central parliament (‘Reichsrat’) or the diets (‘Landtage’) were competent. On the other hand, there was no instance to decide such questions of uncertain competences. Georg Jellinek and Hans Kelsen published detailed studies on these problems. Jellinek suggested establishing a constitutional court to decide uncertain competences. Kelsen analyzed the situation in greater detail than any other author, but made no suggestions as to how to solve the problems. His analysis was, however, important for the development of his pure theory of law and for his work on the federal constitution of 1920
