Summary/Abstract: The article reviews briefly the specific authority of the executive power to issue normative regulations that supplement the laws and serve their enforcement (bylaws). A brief historical review is made and further the article focus on the present day state of the matter, as it is settled in the Constitution of Republic of Bulgaria 1991 and the Normative Acts Act 1973. The main objective of the article is to point out and eventually clarify some debatable issues around the bylaws issued by the Council of ministers. Further, a separate analysis is dedicated to the curious, now overcome, situation, when issuance of bylaws was entrusted to administrative bodies ranking below minister – heads of agencies. Special attention is paid to the intriguing, sometimes controversial, practice of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Administrative Court.
