Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint against a law subject to optional referendum was filed too early and is therefore admissible.
Extracted holding
The complaint was filed prematurely because the act had not yet been confirmed and published after the referendum process; the proper filing period had not started.
Extracted reasoning
For acts subject to optional referendum, the 30-day period begins only upon publication of the confirmation decision, not upon publication of the text. Since the cantonal vote had not yet occurred, the complaint was premature. In view of the coming into force of the BGG and the risk of different procedural regimes for later complaints, the Court treated the premature filing as inadmissible rather than suspending the proceedings.
