Summary

The purpose of the bill is to strengthen the right of local government to self-organize, to make the operation of local governments more flexible, and to increase the opportunities for residents to have a say in matters of local life. For example, it is possible to initiate a public opinion poll on an important issue of local life if at least 10% of the population (at least 20 people) want it. The council formulates the question and the survey is conducted within six months. The role of local governments in the business environment is also emphasized in development. Development plans and strategies must clearly define the needs and directions of business, avoiding unreasonable obstacles for local business. The bill resolves existing legal gaps and contradictions, harmonizes terminology and introduces new regulations, such as the right of local governments to supervise violations of council rules and process personal data within local administration.
