Subject: “Appointment of a temporary administrator in Child and Elderly Care Units in cases where the owner or administrator is unable to perform his duties due to charges against him for committing heinous criminal acts, as a result of his pre-trial detention”
Explanatory Memorandum
The proposed amendment addresses a serious social problem caused by the inability to exercise the duties of managers and owners of Retirement Homes, Nursing Homes, Nursing Homes and Child Protection Units, operating in the legal form of Private Private Ν.Π.Ι.Δ.), Limited Liability Companies (Ltd.), Private Capital Companies (PCS), Civil Non-Profit Companies (Α.Μ.Κ.Ε.) or Social Cooperative Enterprises (Koin.S.Ep).
