Actions of the General Director for National Roads and Motorways of a legislative nature.

Abstract

The article presents the powers of the General Director of National Roads and Motorways (hereinafter: General Director), who, as a central government body in the organizational structure of public administration, has the authority to take legal forms of action of a legislative nature within the scope of its statutory tasks. At this point, highlighting the status of the body under review seems expedient, as it will determine the further course of the argument. The General Director, being a central government body, bases its activities on regulations contained in ordinary legislation. Significantly, the General Director, as a public administration body, is not mentioned in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (an extra-constitutional body), and as a result, lacks the authority to enact generally applicable laws. Instead, it possesses the power to establish laws of an internal nature. Its activities are grounded in regulations that define competence standards. A substantial portion of the tasks and functions of the General Director are carried out through various legislative forms. They are not typically attributable to this body alone. The extensive scope and diverse range of tasks assigned to this body necessitate the utilization of various legal forms of action. This article focuses on legislative forms of action, particularly such as administrative decisions, and the legal authorization for employing such forms of action.
