The regional Parliament will end its ordinary activity before the summer break with the vote on four legislative initiatives. These laws range from improving parliamentary transparency to measures supporting family businesses, the hunting sector, and maternity protection. The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the regional Chamber, Carlos Díaz-Pache, presented the legislative calendar after the Spokespersons' Board, emphasizing that legislation is being enacted for "businesses, families, the rural world, and the defense of life."
The first law, to be debated on June 11, is a modification of the Regulations of the Assembly of Madrid to incorporate legislative footprint in law processing. This reform, which has garnered consensus from all parliamentary groups, aims to enhance the transparency of the legislative process by documenting contributions and influences in the drafting of norms. "We can say that in this Assembly there is still room for understanding among all groups," stated Díaz-Pache.
The last plenary session of the month, on June 18, will focus on approving three laws. The first will be the Family Business Law, designed to protect Madrid's productive fabric and facilitate the continuity of family companies in the region. It includes tax aid of up to a 99% reduction in the taxable base for generational succession and benefits in the Inheritance and Gift Tax. The regulation extends to spouses, descendants, ascendants, collateral relatives of the second and third degree, and even employees with special seniority and a close relationship with the company.
The second regulation scheduled for June 18 is the Hunting and Fishing Law, which will pass with an absolute majority of the PP. It will be the first specific regional law for this sector in the Community of Madrid. The text seeks to strengthen legal certainty, regulate hunting and fishing activities, and improve environmental protection by setting a minimum size of 250 hectares for hunting grounds (50 hectares for small game) and simplifying water regulations into three categories. Special attention is given to species such as trout, carp, and pike.
Finally, the third law on June 18 will recognize the unborn child as a member of the family unit from the moment pregnancy is certified. This initiative, part of the Community of Madrid's Maternity and Paternity Protection and Fertility Promotion Strategy, will allow the unborn child to be counted in regional procedures affecting aid, benefits, or access conditions, within the scope of regional competencies. The regional Government aims to reinforce support for families and birth rates.
