The government approved that Hungary apply with four transport project proposals to this year's call of the EU's Connecting Europe Facility (CEF2). One is preparing the modernisation of the Balatonszentgyörgy–Gyékényes railway line, including studies, plans and permits, plus a new track connection near Gyékényes. Another is designing line sections of a railway development abbreviated NSV, and the third is developing roadside infrastructure and IT systems supporting automated and intelligent road transport. The fourth is an international study on bottlenecks in Central European military mobility corridors. The transport and investment minister had to submit the applications by 6 October; if they succeed, a separate decision will be made on the Hungarian funds needed.

Following a complaint by Budaörs, the Constitutional Court declared certain rules of the 2025 municipal solidarity contribution unconstitutional. This money is paid to the state by wealthier municipalities and deducted from their central support. According to the court, the amount of the contribution was set by legislation without an official decision, so the municipality could not challenge its payment obligation in court either directly or indirectly, which violates the right to a fair procedure and to legal remedy. It annulled the relevant line of the ministerial decree setting the amount with immediate effect, and two relevant provisions of the budget act with effect from 31 December 2026. A concurring opinion is attached to the decision.

The Constitutional Court annulled a condition that caused people whose working capacity changed at a young age to lose their benefits. Under the rule, those who became people with reduced working capacity before the age of 35 and became insured during their studies or within 180 days after them could get benefits, but this also required at least 30 days of uninterrupted insurance. According to the court, this 30-day condition is unconstitutional, because the Fundamental Law gives special protection to people with disabilities. The condition cannot be applied in any pending court case. Those whose application was earlier rejected specifically because of the 30-day condition can apply again.

Draft: the health minister would amend the list in the decree setting out which health diplomas and certificates obtained in EU countries must be accepted in Hungary without a separate examination. The change is needed because of a European Commission decision of July 2025 that amended the EU rules on recognising professional qualifications. This affects doctors, nurses and other health professionals who obtained their qualification in another EU country. Comments can be sent until 10 October 2026.

Draft: the transport and investment minister would amend, for technical reasons, the decree on fees for road traffic authority procedures (for example vehicle administration). This is needed because ministers' remits changed from 1 September 2026, and some tasks moved to the Ministry of Science and Technology. The draft does not mention any change in the amounts of the fees; the amendment writes in the changed powers. Comments can be sent until 10 October 2026.
