The reform has allowed the Constitutional Council to reconsider a whole set of laws that had never before been submitted for constitutional review, mainly because they were drafted prior to 1958. One of the most emblematic decisions concerned the code of criminal procedure, with the Council repealing several articles concerning the legal custody of defendants inside police stations.
改革授权宪政委员会重新审议一系列从未进行过合宪性审议的法律，主要原因是这些法律都是1958年之前通过的。其中最具代表性的决定涉及到刑事诉讼法，具体地讲是委员会撤销了在警署内合法羁押被告的几项规定。其他决定涉及税收、社会立法或选举法等领域。
