By Plenary Sessions: Vilja Toomast

The political position is moderately supportive of the bill initiated by the Government of the Republic to amend the Names Act (SE 719), which focuses on modernizing the name change process. Support is aimed at implementing a convenient e-application, while emphasizing that necessary official-based control mechanisms will remain in place for criminals and other special cases. The framing of the bill is clearly centered on policy and administrative procedures.
