Published date: 06.02.2026 |Processed date: 06.02.2026 |Session 10

Submitters: Eliška Olšáková, Karel Dvořák

Summary

The Act fundamentally modifies the exercise of public guardianship by municipalities to make it more flexible, efficient and better controlled. It allows the transfer of the exercise of public guardianship between municipalities by public contract or by county decision and clearly sets out the court’s procedures for appointing another suitable municipality. It introduces mandatory collection and transmission of data on the number of guardians and designates the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs as the central authority for this area. The aim is to improve the protection of persons with disabilities and the quality of guardianship from 1 January 2027.

The Government has expressed its opposition to the MP’s proposal for changes in the area of public guardianship, although it generally supports the need to regulate this area by law. It notes that the Ministry of Justice is preparing its own more comprehensive government proposal to be subject to wider expert discussion. It also notes that the question of the central authority has already been resolved by the Supreme Administrative Court by designating the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. It also criticises the proposal for its legislative and technical shortcomings.
