Scope: Sections 2–6; pages 1–2.

The bill introduces a new non-earmarked tax revenue for municipalities and regions based on the living area of newly completed apartments. Municipalities are to receive 3,000 to 4,000 CZK per m², regions 500 CZK per m², and Prague 5,000 CZK per m², with Prague transferring a portion of these funds to its city districts. Funding will be shifted from VAT revenue, which will reduce state budget revenue and is intended to incentivize local governments to build housing; the first payments are expected in 2028 based on apartments occupied in 2027. The strikethrough in the text refers to the formal title and article designations, not to the substantive rules of the proposed mechanism.

Scope: Sections 41a–90; pages 1–14.

The bill grants the police the authority to temporarily close a business if products that seriously endanger life or health are being sold or distributed there and there is a risk that this activity will continue. In urgent cases, the police may intervene even before an assessment by the supervisory authority, which must confirm the risk within 48 hours; the closure may last for a maximum of 14 days. The operator may file an objection within three days and should be granted supervised access to remove hazardous products or protect property. The law is set to take effect on the first day of the second month following its promulgation.

The bill implements the EU directive and modernizes liability for damages caused by defective products, effective December 9, 2026. Protection for individuals is extended to software, digital production files, related digital services, and the loss or damage of non-professional data. In addition to the manufacturer, component manufacturers, importers, representatives, distributors, or certain online platforms may also be liable for damages, particularly if the manufacturer established in the EU cannot be traced. Claims are facilitated by presumptions of evidence; the ten-year statute of limitations is abolished and generally replaced by a ten-year period of extinction of rights, which extends to 25 years in cases of health damage that manifests later.

Scope: Part One–Part Four; § 468–§ 119c; pages 1–18.

The bill regulates public guardianship so that municipalities can more effectively provide it to individuals who need support in legal matters. It allows this responsibility to be transferred in its entirety to another municipality or association of municipalities through a public-law agreement and provides for the automatic transfer of guardianship even for individuals who have already been appointed wards. In exceptional cases, the court will be able to designate another suitable municipality if the municipality where the ward resides is unable to perform its duties properly; the consent of the municipality or association of municipalities is not required. Municipalities or regional authorities must notify the court and the ward of the transfer in a manner appropriate to the ward’s health condition; the proposed effective date is July 1, 2027.

Scope: Part One–Part Four; § 1–§ 2990c; pages 1–30.

The bill clarifies the protection of trade secrets under European Union law and extends it to infringements outside the context of economic relations.

It introduces specific legal remedies, measures to cease and remedy infringements, rules on damages, and protection of confidential information in case files and judgments. Disputes will be adjudicated by the regional court; the bill is proposed to take effect on January 1, 2027.

Scope: Part One–Part Three; § 2–§ 2a; pages 1–31.

Prior to its entry into force, the bill amends and clarifies the new legal framework for public support of research, development, and innovation.

Scope: Part One–Part Three; § 4–§ 154; pages 1–4.

The bill primarily aligns the Czech Waste Act with the new EU regulation on the transboundary shipment of waste and replaces existing references to the old European legislation with the new one. It introduces electronic filing and service of documents through a central system, regulates the Ministry’s decision-making process, clarifies the rules for the take-back and safe storage of waste, and newly establishes a regime for facilities requiring prior authorization; At the same time, the conditions regarding the applicant’s good standing are being amended so that the applicant must not have a single fine of a high amount, and the total amount of fines must not exceed a specified limit. The provisions governing administrative offenses and penalties related to cross-border waste shipments are being significantly revised to make enforcement more effective against illegal shipments. In addition, the obligation for regions to prepare waste management plans is being repealed, and an administrative fee of 10,000 CZK is being introduced for applications to issue or amend prior consent.

Scope: Part One–Part Four; § 1–§ 14; pages 1–20.

The bill primarily reorganizes the surveying and cadastral inspectorates: they will no longer be separate organizational units of the state or accounting entities, but rather internal units of the Czech Office for Surveying and Cadastre, while retaining their administrative authority. At the same time, the Act expands and clarifies the powers of the Office and the inspectorates, particularly with regard to oversight, the administration of digital information systems, and the adjudication of cadastral violations. The territorial jurisdiction of the inspectorates is also changing, as the Vysočina Region is transferring from Brno to České Budějovice, and the names and annexes of the Act are being amended. The Act takes effect primarily on January 1, 2027, with certain amendments related to cadastral offenses taking effect on July 1, 2027.

Scope: Part One–Part Four; § 19a–§ 86a; pages 1–26.

The bill amends the pension insurance rules primarily to benefit older individuals and working retirees. It introduces an age-based pension increase starting at age 80 and every five years thereafter, instead of the current increase starting only at age 85; at the same time, starting in 2028, the increase in the old-age pension for additional gainful employment will be reinstated and automated. The law also explicitly allows pensions to be paid abroad in a currency other than the Czech koruna and stipulates that the recipient bears the costs of currency conversion. At the same time, it requires employers to resubmit data on working old-age pensioners so that these increases can be applied automatically.

Scope: Part One–Part Four; § 1–§ 54; pages 1–16.

The bill transposes the Czech regulations on construction products into the new EU regime in accordance with EU Regulation 2024/3110. It repeals older transitional provisions in the Act on Technical Requirements for Products and transfers the rules for CE-marked construction products to the Act on Conformity Assessment, where it specifies the competent authorities, the Czech language for documents, and the information system. It temporarily maintains the validity of existing authorizations and notifications only until January 8, 2030, unless they are renewed. The Act also extends oversight and the scope of responsible entities to online sales and services involving the complete fulfillment of orders; most of the changes are to take effect shortly after promulgation, while some repeals will not take effect until January 8, 2040.

Scope: Part One–Part Two; § 20; pages 1–6.

The proposal amends the functioning of the national park board in the approval of key conservation and management documents. A representative of the Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic is now required to join the board, and separate voting is introduced, meaning that a proposal must secure a majority among both the delegated representatives and the appointed members. In the event of repeated disagreement, the decision-making authority is transferred to the Ministry of the Environment following prior deliberation by the government, which changes the current procedure. Documents that have already been approved may be reconsidered within two years under specified conditions; the amendment takes effect on January 1, 2027.
