July 1930
16 July
The Reichstag rejects the “Deckung” draft legislation presented by the Reich government, which envisages coverage of the budgetary deficit and tax increases, with 256 votes to 193. The Brüning government decides to implement the rejected bill in a modified form via emergency decree. This is done by the Reichspräsident under application of Article 48.
