The number of municipalities was reduced from 542 to 287, with the reform being intended to reduce costs and ease election of new town officials. Its basis is the Styrian Municipality Structural Reform Act (StGsrG). The law was adopted on December 17, 2013 by the Landtag of Styria, and promulgated on April 2, 2014.
