- The Autonomous Communities would have to spend that money on social and volunteering programs run by NGOs and nonprofit organizations, on international development cooperation, and on environmental projects by associations declared of public utility.
- The annual transfer to the Autonomous Communities would be made before the end of the first quarter of the year following the tax settlement.
- The Government would have to report to the Cortes every year on how the law is applied, could issue the rules needed to implement it, and the law would take effect the day after its publication in the official state gazette.
