Chamber of Deputies Overrules Senate on Reducing Tradespeople's Advance Payments, Senate Approves Digitalization of Benefits
Videos
On Wednesday, the Chamber of Deputies overruled the Senate's veto and approved a reduction of the minimum advance payments for tradespeople's social insurance by seven hundred crowns. The proposal from government coalition deputies will return the payments to their original level from last year. The Senate had previously rejected this step, but its decision did not have a majority in the Chamber. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová praised the coalition for approving the proposal. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
On Friday, the Senate approved the gradual digitalization of state social support benefits. The process will not begin in July as originally planned, but will instead proceed gradually until September of next year. Labor offices will process care allowances for people with disabilities in digital form gradually over the aforementioned period. irozhlas.cz ↗
The Senate also agreed to a one-year postponement of the mandatory use of the National Geoportal for Territorial Planning. Instead of the originally planned date, its use will not become mandatory until June 30, 2027. The change still requires the president's signature. novinky.cz ↗
On Wednesday, the Chamber of Deputies also dealt with filling various positions. Deputies elected commentator Petr Žantovský to the Czech Radio Council; he had previously run unsuccessfully for a Senate seat for the Free Democrats. However, in the first round of voting, deputies could not agree on a new ombudsman. Candidates Eva Kostolanská and Klára Šimáčková Laurenčíková advanced to the second round. novinky.cz ↗
