The Health Commission of the Brussels Parliament on Thursday gave the green light to a draft bill that aims to put an end to the possibility of combining the mandates of CPAS president and Brussels parliamentarian.
This text, tabled by the Minister of Health Alain Maron and Minister of Social Action Elke Van den Brandt, will create a regional policy whereby political candidates must declare that they have fully dropped their previous functions between a term of office as President of CPAS and a parliamentary mandate, the cabinet of the Health Minister said in a press release on Friday.
It also provides for granting the president of CPAS a limited termination indemnity proportional to the number of years in office (one month of indemnity per year worked).
In order to give the CPAS time to organise, the ordinance will come into force during the next renewal of the social action councils, that is to say after the municipal elections of 2024.
