What does the bill do?

The bill states that the National Insurance Institute will not be permitted to collect debts that arose for reservists due to errors in calculation or differences in reserve compensation, in the period from October 20, 2023 until the law takes effect. The Institute will be required to cancel any payment demand, lien or collection proceeding for these debts. In addition, the bill extends temporary provisions for 2026 that prevent the accrual of similar debts for self-employed people serving in the reserves.
