Content
- Measures are published in Magyar Közlöny. These include Constitution of Hungary and its modifications, laws accepted by National Assembly, orders issued by the Government, head of the National Bank, Prime Minister and Ministers. Resolutions for the uniformity of law issued by Kúria and decisions made by Constitutional Court have to be taken into consideration during the usage of law. National Election Committee also uses this newspaper for publishing its stances and decisions made regarding electoral requests. Several decisions are also published here, most notably the decisions of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade about the international law. Other segments include appointments made by the Prime Minister or the President. Though resolutions of municipal governments ae also regarded as measurements, those are not published here.
- Magyar Közlöny contains only new measurements, old measurements in consolidated structure with old amendments are not published here. The sole exception is the Constitution, which may be ordered to be published in a consolidated way. It happened e.g. after the fourth amendment.
- Law or the Prime Minister may order the publishing of announcements as well.
- Orders, decisions and announcements issued by ministers or announcements from other bodies are published in Hivatalos Értesítő, which is published weekly 2 or 3 times as the Appendix of Magyar Közlöny.
