Z Encyklopedia Administracji Publicznej
VOIVODSHIP’S STATUTE – a local law act containing constitutional and organisational rules applicable in the area of the voivodship. V.s. is passed by voivodship sejmik after consultation with the President of the Council of Ministers. Provisions of the v.s. regulate the organisation, scope and mode of operation of the voivodship. V.s. should not be simply a repetition of the provisions of the Act, nor can it contain regulations inconsistent with it. Passing the v.s. belongs to the exclusive competence of the sejmik, which is bound in this respect by the provisions of the Act on the voivodship self-government and laws that determine its system. V.s. contains regulations concerning the internal organisation of the sejmik and its committees and rules of operation of the audit commission. It also regulates the rules of creating and operating of councillors’ clubs. In v.s. the internal organisation and the mode of operation of the voivodship board are defined, as well as the issue of choosing the marshal, deputy marshals and other members of the board. This act also defines the principles of access to documents for residents and the use of them. V.s. is subject to publication in the voivodship official journal (→ local law acts adopted by the voivodship) [ S. Kozłowski ].
