20/13697: Recommendation for a Resolution and Report on the Draft Law of Members of the Bundestag Stephan Brandner, Peter Boehringer, Dr. Christina Baum, Other Members of the Bundestag, and the AfD Parliamentary Group – Draft Law to Amend the Federal President’s Pension Act (PDF)

Recommendation for a Resolution

The Bundestag has adopted the following resolution:

  1. The draft law is rejected.
  2. The petition of the petitioners is rejected.

Detailed Information

The Federal President’s Pension Act (BPrG) regulates the provision of retirement benefits for the Federal President. The draft law proposes to amend the BPrG as follows:

  • The maximum amount of the retirement pension is to be increased from 193,000 euros to 250,000 euros per year.
  • The retirement pension is to be paid in twelve equal monthly installments instead of six.
  • The retirement pension is to be adjusted annually in line with the development of the cost of living.
  • The retirement pension is to be exempt from income tax and church tax.

The draft law is based on the assumption that the Federal President’s official duties have become more demanding in recent years and that the retirement pension should be adjusted accordingly.

The Committee on Internal Affairs has rejected the draft law. The committee considers that the Federal President’s official duties have not changed significantly in recent years and that the current retirement pension is sufficient. The committee also considers that the proposed tax exemption is unjustified.

The Bundestag has followed the recommendation of the Committee on Internal Affairs and rejected the draft law.

Relevance

The Federal President’s Pension Act is a law that affects the retirement benefits of the Federal President. The draft law that has been rejected by the Bundestag would have increased the maximum amount of the retirement pension, paid the retirement pension in twelve equal monthly installments, adjusted the retirement pension annually in line with the development of the cost of living, and exempted the retirement pension from income tax and church tax.
