The Croatian Parliament or the Royal Croatian–Slavonian–Dalmatian Sabor (Croatian: "Kraljevski Hrvatsko–slavonsko–dalmatinski sabor" or "Sabor Kraljevina Hrvatske, Slavonije i Dalmacije") had legislative authority over the autonomous issues according to the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement of 1868. A draft law (bill), approved by the Diet, became a statute (an act) after the royal assent (sanction). It also had to be signed by the Ban. The King had the power to veto all legislation passed by the Diet and also to dissolve it and call new elections. If the King dissolved the Diet, he would have to call new elections during the period of three months.
