After a month-long hiatus, the extraordinary subcommittee of the Sejm returned to discuss the personal assistance act on February 13. Initially, the subcommittee had planned to finalize its work by the end of January, but it only convened once in January. During the recent meeting, the subcommittee reached Article 16 out of a total of 125 articles, while the new deadline for concluding their work remains uncertain.

The pace of legislative progress has raised questions, particularly as the subcommittee was expected to present an amalgamated bill from three different proposals by the end of January. Following inquiries made by OKO.press, the chairwoman of the subcommittee, Katarzyna Ueberhan from the Left party, did not provide a clear explanation for the delays. However, during the February 13 meeting, it was mentioned that legislative experts and government officials had been working on the proposals during the break, presenting solutions aimed at refining the draft legislation.

The ongoing discussions and legislative efforts surrounding the personal assistance act are significant for addressing social policy and welfare in Poland. The involvement of various legislative and government stakeholders suggests a structured approach to developing comprehensive solutions, though the lack of a defined deadline may indicate possible complications ahead in the legislative process.
