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 National Council.
Karena Konstitusi Austria (B-VG) membedakan secara tegas antara legislasi federal dan negara bagian, Pasal 42 Konstitusi Austria hanya memberikan hak veto kepada Bundesrat atas undang-undang federal yang diajukan oleh Dewan Nasional.
