Außerordentliche Gesetzgebungsbefugnisse im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
The Enabling Act of 30 April 1934 is overshadowed by the far more often cited Wartime Economy Enabling Act. However, it was not the Wartime Economy Enabling Act but the Enabling Act that transferred legislative power to the executive, i.e. the federal government, upon implementation of the 1934 constitution. The Enabling Act granted the government the right to decide whether legislative proposals were to pass through the preparatory committees of federal legislature outlined in the 1934 constitution, to finally be accepted or rejected by the Bundestag, or whether deliberation and resolution would take place directly in the council of ministers. Thus, the Enabling Act of 1934 constitutes a central element of the Austrian constitutional reality in the period until 1938.
