history: National committees were established on the territory of Slovakia during the Second World War based on the decree of the President of the Republic no. 18/1944 of December 4, 1944, and after WWII they replaced the existing municipal councils. The City National Committee of Rožňava was responsible for administrating Rožňava between 1945 and 1989. Its leadership was changed after May 1946 according to the result of the parliamentary elections. Members of the National committee had a wide range of competencies: the managing of the political, economic, and social life of the city, the confiscation of the property of"Germans, Hungarians, traitors and collaborator", the appointment of national administrations, the restoration and reconstruction of the national economy, tasks in the social and health spheres, the establishment of the National Security Corps, etc. Changes in the organization and activities of national committees occurred after the issuance of Constitutional Act No. 150/1948 Coll. (Constitution of May 9).
