THE LAW
of 15 December 1966
on certain consequences of neglect of childcare
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decided on this law:
§ 1
A citizen to whom sickness insurance covers child allowance, as well as any recipient of direct support allowances, shall be required to take due care of the physical and mental health and education of those children and to ensure that the allowances provided are used exclusively for the benefit and interest of the children for whom they are intended.
§ 2
(1) Where the payment of child allowances to the former beneficiary is not likely to achieve the purpose for which the allowances are intended, in particular where the recipient of child allowances fails to comply with the obligations imposed on him under the provisions of Section 1, the local national committee shall propose to the institution responsible for deciding on child allowances to stop the payment of child allowances to the former beneficiary and to use them for childcare in the manner laid down in this Act.
(2) The same proposal will also be made by the local national committee in those exceptional cases where a child of compulsory schooling does not, without serious reasons, attend school at all or consistently neglect schooling and the previous negotiations with a citizen who has a child in direct custody have not led to correction.
§ 3
(1) The allowance for children whose payment to the previous beneficiary has been stopped by the authority responsible for deciding on the child allowance shall be indicated to the local national committee in whose area the child is resident. The District National Committee may provide for child allowances to be referred to another National Committee.
(2) The proportion thus obtained is used by the national committee for the benefit of the children for whom they are intended (e.g. to cover school meals, other nutrition, clothing, footwear).
§ 4
(1) The facts relevant for the duration of the entitlement to and the amount of the child allowance are assessed as if the termination of the payment had not taken place at the time when the payment is stopped in the hands of the previous beneficiary.
(2) Where allowances are to be paid to several children of the same entitled nature in the hands of different beneficiaries, the total amount per child shall be divided by the same proportion per child.
§ 5
(1) When a permanent remedy has been taken, the local national committee will propose to the institution responsible for deciding on child allowances to pay child allowances to those who have a child in direct support.
(2) If the child referred to in the national committee has been placed in a childcare institution (children's home, etc.), the payment of allowances shall be transferred to the institution in whose direct provision the child is. *)
§ 6
The rules governing sickness insurance procedures shall apply to decisions under the previous provisions. * *)
§ 7
Previous provisions also apply
(a) allowances for children from the security of cooperative peasants in the sickness and security of the mother and child, and the education allowance provided in the pension scheme;
(b) education under the rules on the material security of members of the armed forces; *) the local national committee's proposal shall be decided by the authorities of the national defence and interior ministries in their respective fields.
§ 8
The current provisions on the transfer of the allowance to children or to educational persons other than the beneficiary remain unaffected. * *)
§ 9
This Act shall take effect on 1 January 1967.
