Senate launches law on administrative reform

Shortly before the end of the year, the Berlin Senate launched the administrative reform, one of its central projects in this legislative period.

According to the Senate Chancellery, it passed a so-called state organization law to clearly regulate the distribution of tasks between the Senate and districts. This should put an end to the often lamented "authority ping-pong" in Berlin, i.e. the shifting of responsibilities back and forth between different parts of the administration.

Making administration more efficient and citizen-friendly

Following the Senate's decision, the bill will now first go to the Council of Mayors. The Senate will then have another turn before the bill is finally passed by the House of Representatives next year. According to the draft, a constitutional amendment is also planned. The administrative reform is one of the most important projects of the black-red coalition in the legislative period running until 2026. The aim is to make the administration more efficient and citizen-friendly.
