Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would amend Article 274 of the Spanish Social Security Law. Minors released from a detention center who do not have Spanish nationality would no longer qualify for the unemployment subsidy. Only minors with Spanish nationality could receive it.
  2. The new wording keeps the subsidy for people who complete a drug addiction treatment lasting more than six months. It also adds conditions for prison inmates convicted of very serious crimes: they must meet requirements of the prison law, or pay civil damages and ask victims for forgiveness.
  3. Subsidy applications pending when the law takes effect would be denied, regardless of their stage of processing.
  4. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado).

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
