Document 89 - Amendment to the Act on Budgetary Rules

The Act changes the rules for handling pension reserve funds. It removes the possibility to use these funds directly for the payment of pensions in order to avoid circumventing the purpose of the reserve and dissolving surpluses. It maintains their use to cover the pension deficit and now allows them to be used for subsidised investments in social infrastructure. The objective is the long-term sustainability of the pension system and the response to demographic developments.

Document 50 - Amendment to the Act on Pension Insurance

The law fundamentally changes the conditions for entitlement to an old-age pension by shortening the required period of insurance from 35 to 25 years, which expands the circle of persons entitled to a pension from 2027. At the same time, it abolishes the already approved rule according to which the part of the pension corresponding to the so-called educational allowance was to be excluded from valorisation and maintains its full valorisation. The adjustments have a social impact especially on people with shorter working histories and parents, while pension expenditure is expected to increase gradually.

Published date: 29.12.2025 |Processed date: 30.12.2025 |Session 10 |Submitters: Radek Vondráček, Renata Vesecká, Libor Vondráček, Zuzana Ožanová
The law amends dozens of regulations en masse to bring them into line with the new Civil Servants Act and replace the existing Civil Service Act. The main impact is the transition of civil servants from a service relationship to an employment relationship and the abolition of civil service institutes such as service offices, service regulations or service orders. At the same time, the powers of appointment of heads of authorities, the systematisation of posts and the transitional rules for staff in the institutions concerned are regulated. The amendments are largely technical and are intended to ensure continuity and legal certainty from 1 July 2026.

Document 76 - Bill on Civil Servants

Published date: 29.12.2025 |Processed date: 30.12.2025 |Session 10 |Submitters: Radek Vondráček, Renata Vesecká, Libor Vondráček, Zuzana Ožanová
The bill fundamentally reforms the civil service by abolishing the existing civil service relationship and replacing it with an employment relationship under the Labour Code in order to increase the flexibility and efficiency of the civil service. It newly regulates the rights and obligations of civil servants, their remuneration, evaluation, training and selection, including the computerisation of personnel processes. A significant change is the possibility for persons with Czech, EU and EEA citizenship to perform civil service, provided they meet the conditions, including knowledge of the Czech language. The reform should reduce bureaucracy, increase the professionalism of the authorities and bring long-term financial savings.

The document introduces a mandatory nationwide deposit system for selected disposable beverage packaging with the aim of significantly increasing take-back and recycling rates and meeting EU targets.

There is a significant tightening of controls and a substantial increase in fines, including very severe penalties for failure to meet collection targets. The amendment has significant economic impacts on businesses and municipalities and introduces a phased roll-out of obligations by 2028-2030.
