Dozens of Laws Included in Slovenia’s New Emergency Development Law
The Slovenian Parliament, the DZ, adopted an emergency law on Monday following a proposal encompassing numerous legislative changes. The omnibus bill, supported by the National Community Party (NSi), the Slovene National Party (SLS), Fokus, the Democratic and Truth party, Resnica, and Demokrati, aims to stimulate economic development across the country. The legislation incorporates systemic reforms impacting several key areas.
A central provision establishes a development cap of €7,500 gross annual salary for eligible recipients. The bill also addresses small business support through more favorable treatment and incorporates adjustments to normaranci, taxation, and social contributions. Furthermore, the law includes a reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT) on specific basic foodstuffs.
A significant change is the abolition of the contribution for long-term care for pensioners. Additionally, the legislation removes the restriction preventing health professionals within the public health network from working for private healthcare providers. The adoption of this comprehensive law has prompted debate regarding the potential for a referendum, with parties continuing to organize and discuss the implications of the emergency measures.
