Registered partnership

A motion put forward in the Landtag by Freie Liste requesting that the government introduce a registered partnership law similar to Switzerland's passed on 24 October 2007 with 19 out of 25 parliamentarians voting in favor.[1][2]

In December 2009, Minister of Justice Aurelia Frick announced she will present draft of the registered partnership bill in January 2010.[3][4] The draft was presented in April 2010.[5][6][7] The consulation period for the bill was finished on July 16, a few items need to be amended as a result of the discussion. The registered partnership bill (Lebenspartnerschaftsgesetz) is described as very similar to the recently approved Austrian law.[8] In August 2010, Prince regent Alois declared his support for the bill.[9] On November 23 2010, the Government approved final version of the bill.[10][11] The bill was approved by the parliament in the first reading on December 16, 2010.[12] In second reading the bill was approved by the parliament on March 16, 2011. Civil unions will start on September 1, 2011. [13]
