The Bavarian Gazette of Laws and Ordinances (GVBl.) - information on the promulgation of laws and ordinances
On the promulgation platform Bavaria you will find all issues of the Bavarian Law and Ordinance Gazette (GVBl.) since 1945 in electronic version for information purposes and free of charge. The respective standard is linked to the valid version in the citizen service BAYERN.RECHT. For your research, you can call up individual issues directly or use the search function.
The officially promulgated version of the laws, ordinances and other contents of the GVBl. continues to be the printed version published by the Bayerische Staatszeitung GmbH publishing house.
All legal changes in state law since the cut-off date of January 1, 1983 are documented in the so-called continuation records as a positive list and describe all adjustments between the legal status on January 1, 1983 and the law in force today. The basis is the law on the collection of Bavarian state law (Bayerisches Rechtssammlungsgesetz - BayRSG) of 10 November 1983 (GVBl. p. 1013) and the associated announcement on the Bavarian law collection of 22 January 1985 (GVBl. p. 11).
The continuation records from 1983 to the present are posted in the promulgation platform under the respective volume of the Bavarian Law and Ordinance Gazette.
Please note: Due to the databases that now exist, a continuation record has no longer been published since 2016.
The Bavarian Ministerial Gazette - official publication of administrative regulations
Administrative regulations and other announcements of the Free State of Bavaria are officially announced in electronic form - in contrast to the content of the Bavarian Law and Ordinance Gazette (GVBl.). The Bavarian Ministerial Gazette (BayMBl.) is officially announced in electronic form on the promulgation platform Bavaria. The announcements in the BayMBl. appear individually as PDF files - usually on Wednesdays.
Since January 1, 2019, the BayMBl. has replaced the Official Gazette of the Bavarian State Government and thus the previous four official and ministerial gazettes (AllMBl., JMBl., FMBl. and KWMBl.).
For your research, you will find official and ministerial gazettes with publication dates between 2009 and 2018, individual, consecutively numbered publications and a search function on the platform.
