The Short Version
The statement captures the substance of the adopted law, but it overstates its current legal effect. Official sources and municipal guidance indicate that municipalities are expected to fall under the Cbw regime and that duty-of-care breaches can trigger fines reaching €10 million. But the Act is stated to take effect on 15 August 2026, so as of 12 July 2026 those fines are not yet enforceable under the Cbw.
