"Dick-Pic Ban" and Partial Pension on the National Council Agenda
The core of the small pension reform, which the National Council will pass on Thursday, is the introduction of a new partial pension that allows a portion of pension benefits to be received alongside employment income. In return, the duration of partial retirement will be reduced from the current five years to a maximum of three years. Additionally, a sustainability mechanism will be introduced, which provides measures in case pension costs get out of control by 2030.
National Council starts with urgent motion on gun laws
Also on the agenda are two proposals from the justice sector. A criminal offense for so-called "dick pics" will be established, prohibiting the unwanted sending of genital images. Furthermore, entering into marriage before the age of 18 will be prohibited. Previously, a court could declare a person eligible for marriage from the age of 16. Relevant for smokers is a new regulation that in the future, "heated tobacco products," or "tobacco sticks," may no longer contain any flavor. The session will start with a question hour with Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ). Additionally, an "urgent motion" by the Greens for stricter gun laws has been announced.
