Legal News

Legal News is a specialised publication of the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities (SCTM) that keeps local self-governments informed about the latest regulations, legislative amendments and bylaws relevant to their work.

Legal News analyses and explains new laws, decrees and decisions that directly affect the competences, finances, property relations, urban planning, public utility services and organisation of local administrations.

The publication supports the application of legal provisions and helps local self-government employees understand how new regulations are implemented in practice, often in cooperation with national institutions or through support programmes.
