Adopted amendments to the Law on Health Insurance will enable the
Public Payments Office, upon a request from the Health Insurance
Office, to exact payment for health insurance contributions from
non-paying companies. In addition, it was ascertained that health
insurance for agricultural households (pensioners over 65), will
be taken over by the State Budget.
Sabor members unanimously supported ruling party representative
Drago Krpina's proposal for amendments to the Law on Areas of
Special State Concern which is intended to simplify loan
applications from the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and
Development.
Croatian citizens will need to wait a little longer for improved
conditions with regard to housing construction and building
permits. Namely, the final bill on the Law on Construction was
forwarded by MP's for its third reading charging the Government to
submit the amended text of the bill within 30 days.
