THE LAW
of 15 November 1989
on the Collection of Laws
The Federal Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decided on this law:
Purpose of the law
The purpose of this Act is to regulate the way in which the Code of Law declares generally binding legislation (hereinafter referred to as "legislation ') or measures of federal authorities and international treaties, as well as to lay down rules for the issue of the Code of Law.
Legislation
The Collection of Laws shall be published in full text:
(a) the constitutional and other laws of the Federal Assembly and the legal measures of the Bureau of the Federal Assembly;
(b) the Decree of the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic;
(c) the legislation of the federal central government bodies and other federal central authorities, with the exceptions set out in Section 3, which is referred to as the "Decree."
(1) Legislation of federal central government bodies and other federal central authorities may be published in the Collection of Laws by the publication of a notice of extradition. This can only be done for legislation
(a) concerning a small number of organisations;
(b) giving details of the rights and obligations of a narrow group of persons in employment and social security relations, or of the rights and obligations arising from the employment relationships of active duty soldiers and members of the armed corps.
(2) The laws which are published in the Collection of Laws by the publication of a notice of extradition are referred to as "yield." This form of notice cannot be used for the legislation of federal central government bodies and other federal central authorities supplementing, amending or repealing the regulations.
(3) The notice of issue of the yield must include:
(a) the name and date of issue of the yield;
(b) the authorizing provision of the law on the basis of which the yield is issued;
(c) a brief statement of the content of the yield, including information on the number of addressees to whom it is primarily addressed;
(d) an indication of which legislation is supplemented, amended or repealed by the yield;
(e) the beginning of the effectiveness of the yield;
(f) an indication of when and how the full text of the proceeds has been published and for which authorities and organisations the proceeds must be accessible to everyone.
The publication of the legislation referred to in Sections 2 and 3 in the Collection of Laws is a condition of their validity.
If the Act of the Czech National Council or the Law of the Slovak National Council so provides, laws and other laws of the authorities of the Republics shall be declared in the Collection of Laws.
Validity and effectiveness of legislation
(1) The legislation referred to in Sections 2 and 3 shall take effect on the date of its publication in the Collection of Laws.
(2) If no later regulation is provided for, the legislation referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall become effective on the 15th day following its publication. Where an urgent general interest so requires, an earlier start of effectiveness may exceptionally be established, but first on the date of publication.
Announcement of international treaties and measures by federal authorities
(1) A communication by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the negotiation of international treaties by which the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic is bound, together with its full text, a communication on the termination of international agreements and other matters relevant to their implementation,
(a) international treaties ratified by the President of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic; or
(b) other international agreements containing arrangements concerning the legal status or interests of persons and organisations.
(2) The full text of the international agreements referred to in paragraph 1 (b) shall not be published if the arrangements contained therein concern a small number of organisations. In this case, the communication by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs contains an indication of where the full text of the international agreement is available for consultation.
(3) Where, under an international treaty, a text other than that in the Czech or Slovak language is applicable to its interpretation, the communication of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall contain an indication where the wording of the international agreement which is relevant for its interpretation can be consulted.
(1) The Collection of Laws shall be published in full or in a notice of their publication:
(a) the measures taken by the President of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Federal Assembly, the Bureau of the Federal Assembly or the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, if the law so provides or if they so decide;
(b) measures taken by federal central government bodies and other federal central bodies, if the law so provides.
(2) For the measures referred to in paragraph 1 and for internal directives, the name "Order 'or" Decree' may not be used.
Announcement of measures by the authorities of the Republics
If the Act of the Czech National Council or the Law of the Slovak National Council so provides, they are declared in the Collection of Laws of Measures of the Authorities of the Republics.
Rules on the issue of the Collection of Laws
(1) The Collection of Laws is published simultaneously in Czech and Slovak.
(2) The legislation referred to in § 2, the notification of the issue of the Decree pursuant to § 3 (3), the communication pursuant to § 7, or, where applicable, the full text of the international agreement pursuant to § 7 (1) and the federal measures referred to in § 8 shall be printed in the Czech edition of the Collection of Laws in the Czech language and in the Slovak edition of the Collection of Laws in the Slovak language; the two texts are equivalent.
(1) A collection of laws is issued in sequentially numbered amounts, each of which contains the title of the date on which it was distributed; that date is the date of publication of the laws and measures contained in the amount.
(2) The amounts of the Collection of Laws are normally divided into the part in which legislation and communications are declared pursuant to § 7 and the part in which measures are declared pursuant to § 8.
(3) The legislation and communications provided for in Article 7 are given by order numbers. This numerical series, as well as the numerical series of individual amounts of the Collection of Laws, shall be closed at the end of the calendar year.
(4) Press errors are corrected in the Collection of Laws by editorial communication.
Common provisions
The Official Gazette is secured by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which shall ensure that the legislation is published without delay no later than 30 days after delivery of the Official Gazette, and shall be responsible for the accuracy of data on the distribution of the individual amounts of the Collection of Laws.
The municipalities are obliged to obtain at least one copy of the Collection of Laws and ensure that it is accessible to everyone.
(1) Federal central authorities and other federal central authorities are required to ensure that the proceeds issued by them are accessible to everyone from the date of their publication in the Collection of Laws, both for them and for the authorities and organisations listed in the notice of issue of the Decree.
(2) Federal Central Authorities and other Federal Central Authorities are required to send the proceeds they have issued after the effective date of this Act to the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in return for payment to anyone who so requests.
Final provisions
The Federal Ministry of the Interior may provide details of the Editorial Office of the Collection of Laws, the submission of applications for publication of legislation and the provision of printing and distribution of the Collection of Laws.
Legislation and other measures notified in the Collection of Laws by 31 December 1968, where they regulate matters falling within the competence of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, shall cease to apply.
The legal measure of the Bureau of the National Assembly No. 4 / 1962 Coll., on the publication of laws and other laws, as amended by Act No. 164 / 1968 Coll., with the exception of § 10 (3), is hereby repealed.
This Act shall take effect on 1 January 1990.
