Federal Council (Austria)
The Federal Council (, ) is the upper house of the Austrian Parliament, representing the nine States of Austria at the federal level. As part of a bicameral legislature alongside the National Council, it can be compared with an upper house or a senate. In fact, however, it is far less powerful than the National Council: although it has to approve every new law decided for by this lower chamber, the latter can – in most cases – overrule the Federal Council's refusal to approve. The ''Bundesrat'' has its seat at the Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna. Since 2023, it meets in a chamber formerly used by the National Council's budget committee. During a major renovation of the parliament building from 2017 until 2023, the Federal Council met in the Hofburg Palace. Role As the Constitution of Austria (B-VG) draws a strict distinction between federal and state legislation, its Article 42 provides the ''Bundesrat'' only with the right to veto federal laws passed by the Nati ...
