It increases the tax benefits for children (for the first, second, third and subsequent children) and increases the parental allowance from CZK 350 000 to CZK 400 000, while also allowing it to be drawn down more quickly and abolishing restrictions on a child’s attendance at kindergarten. As regards sickness insurance, it extends the possibility of drawing paternity benefit up to 12 months after the birth of the child (instead of 6 weeks) and unifies the period of support for nursing care to 16 days for all. The aim is to increase the financial stability of families and to promote the reconciliation of work and family life.

Published date: 03.03.2026 |Processed date: 03.03.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Eliška Olšáková, Karel Dvořák, Lucie Sedmihradská, Julie Smejkalová, Michal Zuna, Jiří Horák, Zdeňka Blišťanová

The Bill gives municipalities the power to regulate short-term accommodation in residential dwellings (e.g. via Airbnb) through bylaws. Municipalities will be able to limit the number of days per year that an apartment can be rented out, set a period of no-occupancy, or set a maximum number of occupants based on the size of the apartment. The regulation will have to be notified in advance to the European Commission and take into account its comments. The aim is to protect the availability of housing and the quality of life of residents in tourist areas.

Document 119 - Amendment to the Act on Supplementary Pension Savings - RJ

Published date: 27.02.2026 |Processed date: 27.02.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Alena Schillerová, Patrik Nacher, Boris Šťastný, Tomio Okamura, Taťána Malá Publication number: 128/2026

Scope: Part One–Part Three; § 28a–§ 191a; pages 1–5.

The Act expands the option of a one-time settlement for supplementary pension savings and, similarly, for supplementary pension insurance for certain participants with older contracts who have not yet met the standard conditions for payment. At the same time, it introduces transitional rules to ensure that affected participants do not lose their state contributions or their funds if their savings accounts were terminated in the interim period before the Act took effect. Due to this change, the tax regime is being amended in the Income Tax Act; the requirement to reach the age of 60 and the tax exemption for certain payments are now explicitly addressed. The result is easier access for some participants to a lump-sum payment and the elimination of the unfavorable tax and administrative impacts of the previous system.

The document asks the Chamber of Deputies to approve the ratification of a new treaty between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on police cooperation, which replaces the outdated agreements from 1992-2004.

Document 116 - Bill repealing the Nomination Act

Published date: 20.02.2026 |Processed date: 20.02.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Zuzana Ožanová, Patrik Pařil, Renata Vesecká

The Act abolishes the Nomination Act and its subsequent amendments, which regulated the selection of persons to the management and supervisory bodies of state-owned companies. This is due to the dysfunctionality, non-binding nature of the recommendations and inappropriate legal regulation of internal government procedures, including the mandatory establishment of an advisory committee. Nominations are to continue to be dealt with by internal government rules, leading to simplification and savings, with the law coming into force shortly after promulgation.
