Opinion on a Deputies’ bill to amend the Act amending the Act on Local Government Revenue and Public Finance Act (Sejm Paper No. 2667) and the Government bill amending the Act on Local Government Revenue (Sejm Paper No. 2668) – from the point of view of their conformity with Polish Constitution and the extent to which these bills may be considered as an implementation of the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 4 March 2014 (ref. no. K 13/11)

The Government bill is considered not to enforce the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 4 March 2014 (ref. no. 13/11), as it only partially implements the necessary standards of the regional correctional compensatory mechanism. The Deputies’ bill, which takes into account all of the standards set out by the Constitutional Tribunal, receives a positive assessment. Moreover, the Deputies’ bill is considered as an attempt of a systemic implementation of the judgment, as it also includes changes aimed at correcting other provisions of the Act on Local Government Revenue units and the provisions of the Public Finance Act in relation to the compensatory corrective mechanism
