Summary

The amendment proposed by the bill concerns people working in the same municipal or city authority under an employment contract, who will be subject to the suspension of the council member's powers in the future instead of the termination of their current powers. Officials are not affected by the proposed change. The impetus for the initiation of the bill is the corresponding request of the Chancellor of Justice to the Supreme Court to take a position. The Supreme Court found that the established restrictions on employment contracts of local government authorities are not necessary for employees and excessively limit the right to apply. Due to this, the commission also considers it necessary to soften the restriction and supports the suspension of the authorization instead of the termination of the authorization. The law is scheduled to enter into force on October 17, when the Supreme Court's decision also enters into force. From this date on, it is no longer possible to prematurely terminate the powers of council members who are employees of the municipal authority.
