Parliament approves postponement of the entry into force of the Construction Act

On 13 February 2024, Members of Parliament approved the government's bill in an abbreviated legislative procedure, which postpones the effectiveness of the Construction Act until 1 April 2025.

The Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic that proposed the amendment, stated that the main reasons for postponing the effectiveness were the delay in the preparation of the implementing legislation, the need to modify and amend other legislation that relate to the Construction Act or the lack of staff at the new Authority for Spatial Planning and Construction implementing new permitting procedures under the Construction Act.

On 1 April 2024, only the Spatial Planning Act will come into force.
