By Plenary Sessions: Signe Kivi

The legislative focus is on the amendments to the Estonian Cultural Endowment Act and the Gambling Tax Act, which were initiated by the Riigikogu Culture Committee. The objectives include creating social guarantees for freelancers, enabling the financing of an additional major cultural structure, and adjusting the rate of support for the creative activities of academic staff. The speaker is a strong proponent of adopting the draft bill.

The legislative focus is currently on the vehicle taxation bill, where the speaker is requesting a tax exemption for competition and historic vehicles. The objective is to amend the current draft bill, supporting the Ministry of Culture’s original proposals, which were disregarded in the coordination document.

The legislative focus is directed towards ensuring the state's contribution to supporting Estonian communities abroad and addressing the issue of funding the Toronto Estonian Centre. This necessitates corresponding budgetary decisions and the setting of foreign policy priorities.

The legislative focus is directed toward the critical analysis of the draft bill to amend the Higher Education Act. The speaker is acting as a challenger to the bill's proponent, questioning its previous handling and recurrence, citing the desire to ensure a thorough process.
