The Sejm will commence its session at 10:00 with the first reading of a government-proposed amendment to the so-called COVID-19 act. The proposal concerns "introducing changes that will enable the financing of essential public tasks related to the implementation of government policy, serving to counteract the socio-economic consequences of COVID-19 resulting from economic slowdown, including by introducing changes to VAT regulations aimed at correlating the level of this tax's rates with the state of public finances".
At 12:05, the second reading will take place for the PiS (Law and Justice party) bill that would abolish accountability for officials' actions during the epidemic. According to its description, the bill concerns "introducing a solution that will exclude the unlawfulness of an act consisting of the breach of official duties or other regulations by a person acting to prevent and combat the infectious disease COVID-19, and extending the validity of a provision that forms the basis for ordering an employee to work remotely".
At 16:00, the first reading of the PiS-proposed amendment to the Animal Protection Act, the so-called "Five for Animals" bill, will be held. Additionally, the Sejm will also consider another bill concerning animals, submitted last year by Civic Coalition. The discussion on this matter, according to the schedule, is expected to last until 18:00. A second reading is not currently scheduled.
At 20:30, the second reading of the presidential bill on the Medical Fund will take place.
