In order to guarantee closest cooperation between Party and SA offices on the one hand and public authorities on the other hand, the deputy of the Fuehrer [Hess] and the chief of staff of the SA [Roehm] become members of the Reich government. Article 3 (1) Because they are the leading and moving power of the National Socialist State, the members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and of the SA (including their subordinated organizations) have an enhanced duty toward the Fuehrer, the Nation, and the State. (2) For violation of these duties they come under a special Party and SA jurisdiction. (3) The Fuehrer can rule that these regulations be extended to members of other organizations. Article 4 A violation of duty is represented by any action or omission, which affects or endangers the existence, the organization, the activities, or the reputation of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party; for members of the SA (including all organizations subordinated to it) especially every offense against discipline and order. Article 5 In addition to the usual disciplinary penalties, terms of imprisonment and arrest can be imposed. Article 6 Within the limits of their competence, the public authorities must render official and judicial assistance to Party and SA--offices which have been entrusted with the execution of the Party and SA jurisdiction. Article 7 The law, concerning the right of imposing disciplinary penalties on members of the SA and SS, decreed on 28 April 1933 (Reich Law Gazette I, page 230) is repealed. Article 8 In his capacity as leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and supreme commander of the SA, the Reich Chancellor issues the necessary regulations for the carrying-out and completion of this law, especially those regarding the structure and the procedure of Party and SA jurisdiction. He determines the date on which the regulations pertaining to this jurisdiction will take effect.
