The Law on Amendments to the Nature Conservation Act and the Land Registry Act

Summary

The bill is intended to amend the Nature Conservation Act (LKS) and the Land Registry Act. The flexibility is added to LKS to decide, depending on the situation, whether to publish a notice about the initiation of the procedure for taking a natural object under protection in a national or local newspaper, not both as prescribed by the current procedure. The need for national monitoring or research commissioned by the protected area manager to additionally ask for movement restrictions in protected areas is removed permit. Applying for a permit is an additional cost of time and resources in situations where its issuance is self-evident. The state's right of pre-emption in the transfer of immovable property is abolished. According to the current LKS, the state has the right of first refusal if real estate is transferred that is located in the construction ban zone of the beach, in the permanent habitat of a species of protection category I, in the restricted zone of an individual object of protected nature, in a protected area or in a storage area. In recent years, the state has assessed the right of first refusal application for thousands of purchase and sale transactions, but it has not been used. Since the application of the right of first refusal does not contribute much to the preservation of natural values, it is planned to leave these provisions out of the law. Abolishing the state's right of pre-emption reduces the administrative body's workload in the event of the transfer of an immovable property containing a natural object and speeds up the conclusion of purchase and sale transactions. The confusing wording on where to camp in the restricted zone will be removed and in order to make a fire, it is necessary to mark the places marked by the ruler of the protected area, but in reality the ruler of the protected area does not mark the places himself. For state budget purposes, it is stipulated that animal damage will not be compensated if, according to the order of priority of the applications, funds are not provided in the current year's state budget to compensate for the damage caused by a less preferred animal. The order of priority is established by the regulation of the Minister of Climate (the last in the order damage caused by migratory birds). At the same time, the upper limit of the payment rate for animal damage prevention costs will be raised, with the aim of reducing the resulting animal damage, which in turn should be compensated. The aim is to reduce the resulting animal damage and thus the pressure on the budget intended for this purpose. The Land Register Act is supplemented on the basis of the Nature Conservation Act, the note on the state's right of first refusal is deleted from the land register after three in the course of a month after the repeal of § 16 subsections 2–6 of the Nature Conservation Act.
