Parliament abolished the Public Service Foundation and created the Independent Public Media Board in its place. The central bank base rate is 5.75 percent from 22 July, and a referendum question on declaring 12 April "Democracy Day" was certified.
Under the interior minister's decree, a school enrolment allowance must also be given to orphans whose deceased parent was declared a fallen member of a law enforcement body. Until now this was due to orphans of heroes and of those who died in service. The decree enters into force on the eighth day after publication.

Parliament revoked the founding charter of the Public Service Foundation supervising public media and adopted the founding charter of the new Independent Public Media Board. The Foundation's assets other than funds revert to the state, and the Board takes over its rights, obligations and funds. The employment of the Office's staff continues, and interim management operates until the Board's members are elected, during which no employees may be hired or dismissed. The Board must preserve the Foundation's website and documents as an archive. The resolution enters into force on 26 July 2026.
