9.1 Laws and regulations in chronological order
In this section laws and regulations are grouped according to years. For each
year, entries are listed with Arabic numbers in ascending chronological
order based on the date of promulgation. The official number of each law
and regulation is given in its title (roman numerals for Acts and Arabic numbers
for Decrees and Resolutions). The date of promulgation is also included in each
title, so indicated for Acts and in a parenthesis which includes the month in
roman and the day in arabic numerals for Decrees and Resolutions. When more
than one regulation need to be considered together and are grouped in one entry,
this is ordered based on the earliest promulgation date. In most cases, some
content is highlighted in bullet points, but these are by no means exhaustive.
Laws and regulations are published in the Hungarian Gazette (“Magyar
Közlöny”), which is available only in Hungarian. All effective laws and
regulations are also available in electronic format in Hungarian (CD database
published monthly by KJK–Kerszöv, Budapest). Certain health related laws
and regulations are available in English on the web-site of the Ministry of
National Resources.
