The law proposal is in the Lower Chamber

The Government proposal, which is in the Lower Chamber of the Parliament, does not foresee the possibility of announcement of illegal or other illicit acts to an external body different from the employer. The parallel MP proposal expects that the announcements would be filed with an external body, namely the Supreme Prosecution Authority, however, only with respect to criminal acts, excluding the announcements of deficiencies of the functioning of the public administration not amounting to a criminal act.
