Legislator summary

AI generated

The Federal Assembly of Switzerland abrogated Article 72, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, which previously required federal approval for the establishment of bishoprics. This decision, made after reviewing a report from the National Council's Political Institutions Commission and consulting the Federal Council, removes a constitutional barrier to the establishment of ecclesiastical divisions, allowing for their creation without confederation consent. The abrogation is subject to approval by the people and cantons.
