The bill amends the Capital Market Undertakings Act to clarify the rules for investment intermediaries and to remove legal uncertainty in the application of European regulations. The key change is the replacement of the term “similarly” by “reasonably”, thereby reducing the scope of the obligations taken over from securities dealers. The law also clarifies that the European rules apply to investment intermediaries only if the law explicitly refers to them and takes into account the status of tied agents as independent entrepreneurs. The effectiveness is proposed from 1 January 2027.

The law introduces and regulates in detail by-elections to municipal councils in addition to the existing new elections. It lays down when by-elections are or are not held, how seats are filled, how candidate lists and substitutes are handled, and what tasks municipal authorities, registration offices and the Ministry of the Interior have. The aim is to ensure that municipal councils can function even if the number of members decreases, without always having to hold a whole new election.

The bill amends the Act on Specialization Training of Healthcare Professionals and reintroduces the field of trauma surgery as a separate basic specialization field for physicians with a minimum length of training of 5 years. The aim is to increase the number of specialists and to stabilize the functioning of trauma centres, as the interest in this specialty dropped significantly after the abolition of the specialty in 2017. The law also provides transitional rules for accredited facilities and allows for the continuation of training under existing accreditations. Doctors specializing in trauma will now be considered specialists in trauma surgery.

ProposalApproved
The amendment modifies the Energy Act to explicitly state that a heat connection, a transfer station and a heat network (or functionally separate parts thereof) are separate things in the legal sense. Compared to the existing regulation, the heat network is therefore now explicitly added, which may have separate ownership according to the individual parts. The aim is to remove ambiguities in case law and to strengthen legal certainty for owners and operators of heating infrastructure. A transitional provision provides that these rules also apply to installations built before the entry into force of the Act.

The Government has discussed the MPs’ draft amendment to the Supplementary Pension Savings Act and the Income Tax Act, which addresses the situation of participants in pension savings after they have been granted a retirement pension. The proposal is intended to allow these people to receive a lump-sum compensation and to adjust the tax regime so that they are not financially disadvantaged. The Government has taken a favourable view of the proposal. This supports changes aimed at removing disadvantages for some pension savers.

The government has taken a disapproving stance on the MP’s proposal amending the Tourism Business Act and introducing the eTurista accommodation register. It points out that the purpose of the register, the scope of the data collected and the range of institutions with access to the data, including the possibility of using it for tax administration, are not sufficiently clarified. It also stresses the need for clear and automated transmission of data on foreigners accommodated to the Police of the Czech Republic and compatibility with the Foreigners Information System. It also criticises the possible increase in the administrative burden, the unresolved costs of the system and the legislative and technical shortcomings of the proposal.
Additional document 1 to document 104: Amendment to the Act – Education Act
Processed date: 10.03.2026 |Session 10
Additional document1st reading
The government has issued a disapproving opinion on the MPs’ proposal to restrict by law the use of mobile phones in schools during school hours. According to the government, the current education law already allows schools to regulate phones through school rules and instead of a blanket ban, methodological support for schools is preferable. According to the government, the proposal contains a number of ambiguities and legislative errors, for example in determining which schools and pupils it should apply to, in defining exceptions for health reasons, and in defining teaching hours. The government also warns that the proposal may complicate the use of pupils’ own devices in lessons and place an unnecessary burden on schools.

Additional document1st reading
The Government has expressed its opposition to a bill that would automatically and free of charge set up data mailboxes for foreigners receiving social security benefits or pensions. It warns that the measure may discriminate against Czech citizens and some foreigners and may be in breach of EU law or international treaties. It also criticises the practical problems - the language barrier, the lack of technology for some foreigners, the complications of delivering access and the high administrative and financial costs. According to the government, the proposal is unsystematic, does not sufficiently analyse the impact and does not address a number of practical situations related to the registration and management of data boxes.

Petr Hladík MP interpellates the Minister of the Environment about plans to introduce PET bottles and cans in the Czech Republic. He points to the time pressure due to European legislation, according to which, without national regulation, the Czech Republic would have to accept less favourable EU rules. The Minister responds that the potential deposit system must meet the requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and that the Ministry is preparing steps to align Czech legislation with this Regulation. The Government will only consider introducing deposit schemes if they demonstrate environmental benefits and do not disrupt existing municipal waste sorting systems.

The document contains a written interpellation from MP Petr Hladík to the Minister of the Environment concerning the future of the subsidy programme Nová zelená úsporám, which supports energy savings in households. The MEP asks when the programme will be relaunched and what funding the government will allocate to it. The Minister states that the continuation of the programme is being prepared, but its funding is uncertain due to lower than expected revenues from emission allowances. The Ministry is therefore preparing various funding options and discussing them with other ministries.

Petr Hladík MP interpellates the Minister of the Environment regarding the planned restriction of funding for organisations providing environmental education for children and youth. He draws attention to the importance of these programmes for schools, families and children’s relationship with nature. In response, the Minister states that support will continue, but must be adapted to limited public budgets and other national priorities. In the future, the focus of the subsidy programmes is to change, particularly on hands-on nature care and outdoor education.
The amendment amends the Rules of Procedure of the Chamber of Deputies in the area of discussion of the state budget and the state final account. It abolishes the condition that the third reading of the draft state budget can only begin after the discussion of the state final account. It now allows the newly elected Chamber of Deputies to complete its consideration of the draft state budget submitted in the last parliamentary term. It also introduces a fixed deadline of 30 November of the following year for the decision on the state final account and allows for the discussion of some budget documents after the change of the parliamentary term.
Scope: Part One–Part Six; Sections 4–29; pages 1–6.
The Act amends the rules governing social services and benefits for persons with disabilities, particularly in proceedings concerning care allowances and mobility allowances. It introduces the possibility of mitigating hardship when applying EU rules to care allowances for persons residing in the Czech Republic who do not receive a similar benefit from another EU country, adjusts the obligations of applicants, and transfers certain tasks between the Labor Office and the regional social security administration. The mobility allowance is increasing from CZK 2,900 to CZK 3,000, and authorities will adjust it automatically starting in 2027 without requiring a new application. At the same time, certain earlier changes in related amendments are being repealed or postponed, including the postponement of part of the effective date from July 1, 2026, to June 1, 2028.

ProposalApproved
The amendment modifies the definition of accessibility in the Building Act so that it applies to all users regardless of age or health status, not just people with disabilities under social legislation. It also removes the possibility to exempt certain buildings or alterations to buildings from accessibility requirements, thereby strengthening these obligations. At the same time, it removes the restriction of accessibility to persons with reduced mobility. The aim is to maintain a broader and non-discriminatory standard for the accessible use of buildings.

Processed date: 05.03.2026 |Session 10
Additional documentApproved
The amendments modify the Social Security Contributions Act, in particular in relation to the minimum assessment base for self-employed persons. The basic proposal replaces the original gradual increase from 30%, 35% and 40% of the average wage with a fixed threshold of 35%, but other proposals put forward alternatives (e.g. gradual reduction from 39% to 35%, uniform 37.5% or maintaining 40% with exceptions). A refund mechanism for overpayments for 2026, the extinction of part of the debt and penalties corresponding to the difference and a special arrangement for persons in the flat-rate scheme are introduced. It also includes a reduced base of 25% for selected self-employed start-ups and amendments to the Pension Insurance Act with effect from the month following the announcement.

Moricová’s question concerns the government’s position on the EU’s proposed “Chat Control” regulation aimed at combating online child sexual abuse and its impact on privacy and encrypted communications. The Minister of the Interior states that the Czech Republic did not support the original proposal containing mandatory screening of communications, but at the same time supported the extension of the temporary exemption allowing voluntary scanning of content until 2028 so as not to create a legal vacuum. According to the Ministry of the Interior, the current compromise version of the Regulation no longer contains mandatory blanket scanning and does not contravene the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights or the Czech Charter. The document emphasises the desire to balance child protection and the right to privacy and describes the practical experience of the Police of the Czech Republic with child pornography reports.

ProposalApproved
The amendment extends the exemptions from the obligation to award sub-limit public contracts in a tendering procedure. The new exemption applies to contracts awarded by energy communities to their members and to the sharing of electricity between community members or customers, provided that they do not reach the limit for above-limit contracts. At the same time, an exemption for contracts under a planning agreement under the Building Act is added and the comma to comma on the previous provision is formally changed to allow for the addition of new clauses. The aim is to facilitate the operation of energy communities and to prevent mandatory competition from hindering electricity sharing.

ProposalApproved
The amendment changes the minimum monthly assessment base for self-employed persons carrying out their main activity to a uniform 37.5% of the average wage. This replaces the current phased adjustment of 30% in 2024, 35% in 2025 and 40% from 2026 onwards and represents a compromise with the main proposal, which envisaged a reduction to 35%. The aim is to mitigate the impact on pension income and future pensions of self-employed workers, while partially reducing the levy burden. The proposal seeks to balance the promotion of entrepreneurship and the stability of public finances.
