Document 322 - Amendment to the Act on the Promotion of Sport – RJ

Scope: Sections 3a–6b; pages 1–12.

The bill expands the scope of the National Sports Agency—a government-funded organization previously focused on the anti-doping program—to include the prevention and combating of other negative phenomena in sports. The organization is now tasked with addressing, through methodological, educational, and preventive measures, the manipulation of competition results, the creation of a safe and respectful environment in sports, and spectator violence. Particular emphasis is placed on protecting children and other vulnerable individuals from violence, harassment, and discrimination; the bill does not introduce new sanctioning powers nor does it restrict the autonomy of sports organizations. It is proposed to take effect on January 1, 2027.
