Share:
Slovakia's National Council advanced legislation on Tuesday that would significantly increase financial penalties for minor crimes and misdemeanors after years without changes. The bill, which moved to second reading, introduces an entirely new form of punishment in the form of minor community service work. The proposed changes represent Parliament's effort to strengthen measures against petty crime and administrative violations. The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, will continue deliberating the legislation as it moves through the legislative process.
