Początki odrodzonego samorządu terytorialnego. Rys historyczno-prawny

Abstract

The study presents the process of developing the structure of territorial self-government in Poland during 1990 to 2000, with a particular consideration of the self-government’s organs, the course of their formation and the rules of their functioning. It should be emphasized at this point that new acts on self-government of 1998 referred in their regulations to many solutions adopted back in 1990 in the act on community self-government, yet in some cases introducing entirely different regulation or only slightly similar to the one in force in community. On the other hand, some regulations adopted in the county legislation became a starting point to the amendment of the act on community self-government. However, in some cases, there occurred differentiation of the constitution of particular units of territorial self-government which was removed by subsequent amendments of legislation in force.
