Summary

The bill modernizes government-related regulations. As a result of GRECO's recommendation, activity restrictions are added for members of the government to act in the management or control body of a private legal entity after the end of their mandate as a member of the government, and the activity restrictions valid during the time the government members are in office are specified. Instead of receiving housing from the employer, a member of the government has the opportunity to compensate for housing in the amount of 15 percent of the salary expenses related to renting, if the minister's main residence is located further away from the ministry. With this, the regulation becomes similar to housing support for members of the Riigikogu. The compensation paid at the end of the powers of a member of the government also becomes more similar to the members of the Riigikogu, and the grounds for when the compensation is not paid are also specified. Managers of state institutions managed by government agencies are provided with a fixed-term employment relationship of 5 years. The bill also makes other changes. For example, the prime minister can reject the minister's resignation once, provisions on the competence of the government and the prime minister in European Union affairs are added to the law, the obligation to issue an order to approve the agenda of the government session is repealed, and it is specified that according to the new wording, the prime minister decides the agenda. The Act also specifies the tasks of the State Chancellery.
