Constitution of Bolivia - Transition and Implementation

Transition and Implementation

The 2009 Constitution is accompanied by a transitional law. In order for the various bodies of government created under the Constitution to function a set of five structural laws were needed, and a deadline of 180 days following the enactment of the Constitution was set for these laws to be passed. They are:

  1. The Electoral Organs Law
  2. The Judicial Organs Law
  3. The Framework Law on Autonomies
  4. The Electoral Regime Law
  5. The Constitutional Tribunal Law

An analysis by Minister of Autonomy Carlos Romero estimates that at least 106 laws must be approved to fully implement the new constitution. As of April 2011, sixteen such laws had been passed. The head of the MAS-IPSP delegation in the Chamber of Deputies has pledged to prioritize 40 further "necessary" laws in 2011 sessions.
