Published date: 13.02.2026 |Processed date: 13.02.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Eliška Olšáková, Karel Dvořák, Lucie Sedmihradská, Julie Smejkalová, Michal Zuna, Jiří Horák, Zdeňka Blišťanová

The Act introduces the central digital accommodation register eTurista, which unifies the existing registration and reporting obligations and adapts Czech law to the new EU regulation on short-term rentals. It significantly expands the obligations of accommodation providers and online platforms, prohibits offering accommodation without registration and introduces high penalties of up to CZK 10 million. It increases the maximum fee per stay from CZK 50 to CZK 100 and improves its enforceability for the benefit of municipalities. The register also contains extensive data on foreigners and replaces reporting to the foreign police, thus strengthening migration control and security.

The bill establishes a uniform statewide framework for regulating the use of cell phones and other electronic devices in schools. It provides for a legal ban on their use during school hours, particularly for children under 10 years of age, and restrictions up to 15 years of age, with exceptions for teaching, teacher discretion and health reasons. The law gives schools the backing to temporarily remove devices when rules are broken and unifies previously divergent practices between schools. The goal is to protect concentration, quality of instruction, and healthy development of children.

The law does not change benefit entitlements, it only sets up a new communication mechanism.

Document 89 - Amendment to the Act on Budgetary Rules

Published date: 27.01.2026 |Processed date: 27.01.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Marian Jurečka, Marek Výborný, Monika Brzesková, Václav Pláteník, Benjamin Činčila, Tom Philipp, Bohuslav Niemiec, Hayato Okamura, Jiří Vojáček, František Talíř, Marie Kršková

The Act changes the rules for handling pension reserve funds. It removes the possibility to use these funds directly for the payment of pensions in order to avoid circumventing the purpose of the reserve and dissolving surpluses. It maintains their use to cover the pension deficit and now allows them to be used for subsidised investments in social infrastructure. The objective is the long-term sustainability of the pension system and the response to demographic developments.

At the same time, it introduces precise definitions of these funds and sets a strict limit whereby investments in private equity and venture capital can account for no more than 10% of a participating fund’s assets. The amendments are set to take effect from 1 January 2027.

The aim is to simplify administration and ensure smooth implementation without impact on benefit recipients.

Document 50 - Amendment to the Act on Pension Insurance

Published date: 16.01.2026 |Processed date: 16.01.2026 |Session 10 |Submitters: Marian Jurečka, Monika Brzesková, Tom Philipp, Marek Výborný, Benjamin Činčila, Róbert Teleky, Petr Hladík, Václav Pláteník, Jana Filipovičová, František Talíř, Marie Kršková, Bohuslav Niemiec, Hayato Okamura, Jiří Vojáček

The law fundamentally changes the conditions for entitlement to an old-age pension by shortening the required period of insurance from 35 to 25 years, which expands the circle of persons entitled to a pension from 2027. At the same time, it abolishes the already approved rule according to which the part of the pension corresponding to the so-called educational allowance was to be excluded from valorisation and maintains its full valorisation. The adjustments have a social impact especially on people with shorter working histories and parents, while pension expenditure is expected to increase gradually.

It introduces mandatory reporting and recording of risk assessments of operators and expands the range of offences and the level of penalties. It also unifies the remit of the Czech Environmental Inspectorate and clarifies the role of expert nature protection bodies.
