The law replaces the previous Publications Act from 1984.[2] Some of the key changes include the introduction of a legal basis for the electronic publication of legal texts on the internet.[3] Prior to the law of 1984, the topic was regulated through the Ordinance of 5 March 1849 on the publication of a Federal Gazette (German: Verordnung betreffend die Herausgabe eines Bundesblattes, French: Ordonnance relative à la publication d'une Feuille fédérale, Italian: Ordinanza sulla pubblicazione di un foglio federale).[4]
