rebuilding national insurance.
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
The purpose of the law.
The great work of national insurance is one of the main features of the working people, which the working class has achieved with its famous February victory. Learning from the Soviet Union's experience, we are rebuilding national insurance in order to promote the development of production, to take care of the working man in a versatile and ever more perfect way, to ensure that the workers themselves are the economies themselves and are directly responsible for them, so that insurance, in line with the development of production, is a tool for the continuous improvement of the standard of living of all workers.
The sickness and pension insurance department.
National pension insurance is separated from national sickness insurance.
Sick insurance.

(2) What this sickness insurance law provides also applies to family allowances.

(5) The Central Board of Trade Unions shall submit to the Government an annual report on sickness insurance.
(1) The Central Board of Trade Unions shall reconstruct sickness insurance in such a way as to bring the workers closer together, that its benefits are in line with the interests of production and workers and with the principle of pay on merit, and that its implementation is simplified and economical. To this end, the Central Council of Trade Unions shall in particular:
(a) carry over sickness insurance gradually to the establishments and trade unions, providing administrative tasks related to the implementation of sickness insurance,
(b) reconstruct the sickness insurance batch system;
(c) adjust the correction procedures for batch cases to be decided by the workers themselves.
(2) The provisions by which the Central Board of Trade Unions regulates the scope, amount and essential conditions of the benefits, the correction procedure and the premium rates require the approval of the Government and are declared by the Prime Minister in the Collection of Laws.

Until the rebuilding of the sickness insurance system, it continues to operate under the direction of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement in the field of sickness insurance of the Central National Insurance Corporation and its organisational components, with an adequate number of employees who have been active for sickness insurance until now. The Central Board of Trade Unions shall make the necessary changes to the organisation of the Central National Insurance Corporation and its organisational components.
