state parliament
Provincial lawmaking body
A state parliament is the legislative body of a subnational political unit, particularly in federal systems like Australia and Germany where individual states maintain their own governing institutions separate from the national parliament.
These bodies typically have authority over matters not reserved for the federal government, such as education, local infrastructure, and certain aspects of law enforcement.
The state parliament passed new environmental regulations that went beyond federal requirements.
