The package is set to streamline administration with digital workflows before its Landtag debate after summer

Overview

  • The cabinet approved amendments to 90 statutes and regulations to cut redundant documentation and reporting obligations.

  • Municipalities will see reduced reporting duties in social security for job seekers and simplified approval processes in road and environmental law.
  • Associations will no longer need to register private events with catering authorities, removing about 70 different certification requirements.
  • The reforms incorporate feedback from the Bürokratiemelder portal and introduce formal regulatory objectives with annual review cycles.
