The Foundation Law Reform 2020

On September 28, 2020, the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) published a draft bill for the reform and standardization of foundation law.

In 2015, the BMJV had already set up a German Federal-State working group (Bund-Länder-Arbeitskreis) for this purpose, which presented a first report on the reform of German foundation law in September 2016 and, following an expert hearing in June 2018, a second report. The current draft of the BMJV has adopted large parts of the report of the Federal-State working group.
