Chamber of Deputies overrides Senate on building law amendment
The Chamber of Deputies approved the coalition's amendment to the building law despite its rejection by the Senate. The bill introduces a centralized system of state building authorities and is set to change the way construction is permitted, including large housing projects. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
According to the government, the amendment is meant to speed up building proceedings and create conditions for housing construction, work and business. For some projects, it envisages a single proceeding and a single decision. The new rules are to apply in the coming period to both small builders and large developers. e15.cz ↗
Senators rejected the proposal, arguing that it could favor developers, weaken the position of municipalities and increase the risk of corruption. Critics described the bill as a step against the public interest. However, in the repeat vote, deputies of the governing coalition overrode the Senate's veto. forum24.cz ↗
Pirate Party chairman Ivan Bartoš also spoke out against the approved version, saying the amendment was tailor-made for developers. The opposition's objections concerned mainly the centralization of building administration and its impact on municipalities. irozhlas.cz ↗
In recent days, the Chamber of Deputies has also overridden the Senate on other bills, including the proposal to reintroduce electronic records of sales (EET). Deputies rejected the Senate's amendments to the EET and approved the original wording. The further course of implementing the new building-proceeding rules in practice will now determine what happens next. ihned.cz ↗
