Resumo Omnilex

The Federal Constitutional Court declined to admit a constitutional complaint challenging a decision of the Saxony-Anhalt State Constitutional Court on the gender-neutral formulation of office titles. It held that no violation of rights under § 90(1) BVerfGG was discernible. The state court had found that the linguistic equality rule in § 159 KomVerfG ST also applies to the office of equal opportunities officer under § 78 KomVerfG ST and that men are not excluded from holding that office. The decision is final.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 3 Abs. 1 GG, § 90 Abs. 1 BVerfGG; linguistic equality of office titles and access to the office of equal opportunities officer: A constitutional complaint is not admitted where the challenged state-court interpretation of the relevant provisions does not reveal a possible violation of fundamental rights. If the law on gender-neutral language is applied to the office of equal opportunities officer and the office is open to men, no constitutionally relevant exclusion or unequal treatment is apparent. The Court may dispense with further reasoning under § 93d Abs. 1 sentence 3 BVerfGG.

Titelzeile

Nichtannahmebeschluss: Sprachliche Gleichstellung von Personen- und Funktionsbezeichnungen und Amt der Gleichstellungsbeauftragten (hier: gem §§ 78, 159 KomVerfG ST) - keine Grundrechtsverletzung

Tenor

Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen.

Gründe

1 Eine Verletzung von Rechten des Beschwerdeführers im Sinne des § 90 Abs. 1 BVerfGG ist nicht zu erkennen. Das Landesverfassungsgericht des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt hat entschieden, dass die sprachliche Gleichstellung für Personen- und Funktionsbezeichnungen gemäß § 159 KVG LSA auch für die Gleichstellungsbeauftragte nach § 78 KVG LSA gilt (Landesverfassungsgericht des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt, Beschluss vom 23. November 2015 - LVG 2/15 -, juris, Rn. 10 ff.). Männern ist es danach nicht verwehrt, das Amt der Gleichstellungsbeauftragten auszuüben.

2 Von einer Begründung im Übrigen wird nach § 93d Abs. 1 Satz 3 BVerfGG abgesehen.

3 Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.
