Seven services, one sequence
From assessing where the authority stands to running the regime after 1 June 2027.
Key timing note. Act no. 5-A/2026 of 28 January has been in force since 27 July 2026, but it does not yet apply to local authorities. Under Article 8(6) of Act no. 37-A/2026 of 28 July, it applies to municipalities, their local undertakings and inter-municipal bodies only from 1 June 2027, with the necessary local regulations to be adopted by 30 April 2027. Parishes are covered from 1 January 2028.
