Overview
- The National Assembly approved the bill 35–0 in first reading, creating a provisional protection order for children alleging incest or parental violence.
- Under the new procedure, prosecutors must act within 72 hours, refer the case within eight days, and a judge must rule within 15 days on maintaining the measures.
- The order can bar a parent from contact and specific places such as the home or school and can grant use of the family home to the protective parent, with breaches punishable by up to three years in prison.
- The text shifts decisions on visitation and accommodation for minors under protection from the family court judge to the juvenile judge to prioritize child-safety assessments.
- The bill strengthens oversight of child-welfare facilities with regular and mostly unannounced inspections, bans hotel placements, and blocks new for‑profit centers with a three‑year transition for existing ones, as the government prepares a broader child-protection bill for spring 2026.
