The draft amends the Constitution in such a way that the President of the Republic is elected directly by the people in free, general, uniform and direct elections by secret ballot. At least 10,000 voting citizens of the Republic of Estonia can nominate a presidential candidate. Candidate registration starts 60 days before election day and ends 40 days before election day. The candidate who gets more than half of the votes of those who participated in the voting is elected. If no candidate achieves the required majority, a second round of voting is held between the two candidates with the most votes. In the second round, the candidate who receives the most votes is elected. In the event of a tie, the older candidate is preferred. Such a system ensures that the president is elected in any case and avoids a situation where the head of state remains unelected. In the event of interruption of the term of office of the President or premature termination of his powers, a new one is elected the president in the same order.

Eelnõu eesmärk on tunnistada kehtetuks Eestis elavate kolmandate riikide kodanike ja kodakondsust mitte omavate isikute üldine hääletamisõigus kohalike omavalitsuste valimistel.
Praeguse seaduse järgi võivad kohalike omavalitsuste volikogude valimistel osaleda ka välismaalased, kes elavad Eestis pikaajalise elaniku elamisloa või alalise elamisõiguse alusel ja kes on valimispäevaks saanud 16-aastaseks ning kelle püsiv elukoht, mille aadressiandmed on kantud Eesti rahvastikuregistrisse (edaspidi rahvastikuregister), asub vastavas vallas või linnas.
Seletuskirjas märgitakse, et Eesti on seni olnud kohalike omavalitsuste volikogude valimiste küsimuses äärmiselt liberaalne ja võimaldanud hääleõigust ka kolmandate riikide kodanikele ning kodakondsuseta isikutele, sõltumata sellest, kas Eesti kodanikud saavad neis riikides hääletada. Venemaa Ukraina vastase agressioonisõja kontekstis on selline olukord Eestile julgeolekuohuks.

Eelnõu esitajate hinnangul on põhjust muret tunda elektroonilise valimissüsteemi usaldatavuse pärast ka seetõttu, et sõjalised konfliktid maailmas on intensiivistumas, mis võib tekitada kasvanud vaenulikku huvi võltsida valimistulemusi Euroopa Liidu ja NATO piiririigis, nagu Eesti seda on. Eespool kirjeldatud vastuolusid arvestades soovivad eelnõu algatajad, et Riigikogu pöörduks esitatud eelnõuga Euroopa Nõukogu komisjoni „Demokraatia õiguse kaudu” poole, taotlemaks nende arvamust asjaolule, kas Eesti internetihääletuse süsteemi jätkuv kasutamine on õigustatud ja turvaline ka siis, kui eespool kirjeldatud vastuolud ei ole asjakohaselt lahendatud.

The Riigikogu ratified the Ottawa Convention prohibiting the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and requiring their destruction in March 2004, a few weeks before Estonia was accepted as a full member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Ottawa Convention entered into force for the Republic of Estonia on November 1, 2004.
The explanatory note states that anti-personnel mines were used in many military conflicts of the second half of the 20th century as a fighting tool for the weaker party, which could not afford greater firepower, i.e. bomber air force, combat helicopters and artillery.
In the new situation, Estonia is forced to do everything possible to strengthen the military national defense. We also cannot afford that in the event of a war, other countries that refrained from joining the Ottawa Convention could use anti-personnel mines on the territory of Estonia, while we ourselves should not.
From the above circumstances as a result, compliance with the requirements of the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and requires their destruction, is no longer in Estonia's national interest. It weakens our defenses.
In connection with the denunciation of the Ottawa Convention, Estonia can assume a unilateral obligation to refrain from selling or otherwise transferring anti-personnel mines to other countries and declare that it will not use anti-personnel mines outside its territory.

Eelnõu näeb ette tõsta esimese ja teise lapse lapsetoetus 100 euroni, eelneva 60 euro asemel ehk samale tasemele, nagu on lapsetoetus kolmandale ja enamatele lastele. Edaspidi on lapsetoetus võrdselt iga lapse eest 100 eurot kuus.
Eelnõuga tõstetakse kolme kuni kuuelapseliste perede lasterikka pere toetust 700 euroni kalendrikuus, varasema 300 euro asemel ning seitsme ja enamalapseliste perede lasterikka pere toetust 900 euroni, varasema 400 euro asemel.
Selleks, et lasterikka pere toetus oleks jätkuvalt proportsionaalne elatustaseme tõusuga ning toetuse suurust ei peaks igal aastal muutma, indekseeritakse toetus iga kalendriaasta 1. aprilliks indeksiga. Indeksi väärtus sõltub 20 protsenti tarbijahinnaindeksi aastasest kasvust ja 80 protsenti sotsiaalmaksu pensionikindlustuse osa laekumise aastasest kasvust. Indeksit väljendatakse täpsusega kolm kohta pärast koma. Lasterikka pere toetust ei indekseerita, kui indeksi väärtus on väiksem kui 1,000. See tähendab, et elatustaseme langedes lasterikka pere toetus ei vähene.
Eelnõuga muudetakse lasterikka pere toetuse vähendamise süsteemi, mille kohaselt hakkab lasterikka pere toetus vähenema pere kolme kõige noorema alaealise lapse täisealiseks saamisel. Senise süsteemi asemel, kus lasterikka pere toetus kadus esimese lapse täisealiseks saamisel, hakatakse lasterikka pere toetust maksma täies ulatuses nii kaua, kuni peres kasvab vähemalt kolm alaealist last. Kui peres on kokku kolm või enam last, kuid vaid kaks neist alaealised, hakatakse lasterikka pere toetust vähendama proportsionaalselt 1/3 võrra.

The Objective 55 climate package has a wide-ranging impact on the competitiveness of Estonian business, consumers, home owners and employees. It is therefore important that there is clarity about the real effects of this package.
Considering the decidedly large impact of the package, it is important that it is at the level of the statement of the Riigikogu that the political approach is given, based on which principles the Republic of Estonia will consider its positions regarding the said proposal in the negotiations. Mandating government positions at EU affairs committee level is not enough.
In the draft of the statement, the need for an impact analysis has been emphasized in terms of Estonian national interests, and preliminary positions have been put forward that, in the opinion of the initiators, support our national interests when dealing with this issue.
