- Държавен вестник — State Gazette (dv.parliament.bg)
- Lex.bg
- Комисия за защита на личните данни — CPDP (cpdp.bg)
Bulgarian legal source types covered
Bulgarian legal coverage includes primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.

Promulgation and amendment records from the State Gazette — version by version, each tied to its official publication — tracking how acts and codes change over time, where available.

Why Lawstronaut for Bulgarian legal research
Bulgarian legal information is spread across the State Gazette, consolidated legislation portals, parliament, courts, and sector regulators. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Bulgaria legal coverage
Bulgaria is a civil-law jurisdiction. Legislation is enacted by the National Assembly (Narodno sabranie) and takes legal effect on promulgation in the Държавен вестник (State Gazette), published at dv.parliament.bg, with consolidated texts also available on Lex.bg. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court of Cassation and the Supreme Administrative Court, with the Constitutional Court ruling on constitutionality. Regulatory guidance sits with bodies such as the Commission for Personal Data Protection, the Bulgarian National Bank, and the Financial Supervision Commission. Records are published in Bulgarian.
Bulgarian law moves quickly: amendments are promulgated in the State Gazette on a rolling basis, and EU-derived rules — the GDPR alongside the national Закон за защита на личните данни — keep evolving. As an EU member state since 2007, Bulgaria continuously transposes EU directives into national law, which makes point-in-time data straight from the source what keeps a Bulgarian legal research answer correct today.
