The Chamber of Deputies has approved a new law to transpose the EU Directive on whistleblowing.
The Bill was approved on its third reading on 21 April 2023. The only amendment adopted by the Chamber to the government’s proposal is to extend the material scope of the Bill. Protected reports shall include not only breaches of EU law under the Directive and criminal offenses but also misdemeanors with an upper limit of fines of at least CZK 100,000.
The Bill now heads to the Senate and is proposed to take effect from 1 July 2023.
