Overview

• CDU, SPD, Greens and FDP jointly introduced the proposal in the Hessian Landtag, advancing an initiative from parliamentary president Astrid Wallmann.
• The draft sets a staged process starting with a self‑disclosure followed by an authority‑level criminal record certificate that can include items like revoked weapons or business permits.
• Case‑by‑case inquiries to the domestic intelligence service and the state criminal police would be possible with the affected person’s consent.
• Non‑cooperation could lead to exclusion from state financing, and the presidium may impose house bans or block payment from faction funds after an individual assessment.
• The AfD tabled a narrower counter‑proposal allowing only a simple criminal record check with consent to view decisions and no option to stop financing.
