The Act on Amendments to the Population Register Act and Amendments to Other Acts Related thereto

Estonia · Riigikogu · 15 October 2018

The bill changes the date of expiry of residence data, if a person's residence is specified in the population register at the legitimate request of the owner of the premises with the accuracy of the city or district or municipality. The change concerns people who have not updated their residence data after moving and for whom the owner of the previous apartment or house has asked them to be registered out of their residence. According to the law that will enter into force on January 1, 2019, such residence data will expire validity upon entry into force of the law. Since the change significantly affects the receipt of local government income tax and the equalization fund, and the data from the population register as of January 1 is used to calculate income tax and the equalization fund, the deadline for revoking the residence data is postponed by one day, i.e. to January 2, 2019. The change prevents a negative impact on the local government's 2019 budget and gives municipalities more time to deal with the notification of people whose residence data expires. In order to simplify administration, the place of residence for the Riigikogu elections with the accuracy of the local government (e.g. Kristiine district) is valid for 4 months instead of the previous 30 days. In this way, a person can use the same data when voting in the European Parliament elections.

The Act on Amendments to the Government of the Republic Act and other laws

Estonia · Riigikogu · 11 June 2018

In addition, the amendment to the Government of the Republic Act waives the requirement for legal higher education for the position of State Secretary, because the State Chancellery's tasks have changed and the action no longer necessarily requires it.
