Summary

The purpose of the bill is to improve the supervision of the funding of political parties and to organize the law on political parties. The investigative powers of the Committee for the Supervision of Political Parties' Funding will be expanded, including the creation of authorization norms on the basis of which a party, a candidate on the party's list, an electoral union, a candidate on the electoral union's list, an individual candidate, a party's affiliated organization and third parties can be obliged to submit documents, information and explanations. The consequences applicable to the acceptance of a prohibited donation are changed, including the addition of an objective deadline - 30 days from the day of receiving the donation, during which the recipient of the donation can transfer the prohibited donation back to the person who made the donation. At the end of the deadline, the prohibited donation must be transferred to state revenues in any case. The definition of an affiliated organization will be changed so that being an affiliated organization will no longer depend only on whether the political party is a founder or a member of a foundation or non-profit organization. In addition to the above-mentioned changes, several amendments to organize the Political Parties Act are also planned. The purpose of the amendments is to make the Political Parties Act more legally clear. The law is scheduled to enter into force on January 1, 2026.
