On 2025-01-31, a new article appeared in Drucksachen under the title “20/14828: Änderungsantrag zu der zweiten Beratung des Gesetzentwurfs der Abgeordneten Konstantin Kuhle, Renata Alt, Jens Beeck, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion der FDP – Drucksachen 20/14259, 20/14768 – Entwurf eines Gesetzes zur Neuregelung der Vormünder- und Betreuervergütung und zur Entlastung von Betreuungsgerichten und Betreuern (PDF)”.
This article discusses an amendment to the second reading of a draft law introduced by members of the FDP (Free Democratic Party) in the German Bundestag. The draft law seeks to reform the remuneration of guardians and caregivers and to reduce the workload of guardianship courts and caregivers.
The amendment proposes several changes to the draft law, including:
- Increasing the hourly rates for guardians and caregivers.
- Introducing a new flat rate for certain administrative tasks.
- Streamlining the process for appointing and supervising guardians and caregivers.
- Expanding the use of digital tools in guardianship proceedings.
The amendment also includes provisions to address the shortage of guardians and caregivers. These provisions include:
- Creating a new training program for guardians and caregivers.
- Providing financial incentives for people to become guardians or caregivers.
- Establishing a new support network for guardians and caregivers.
The amendment was introduced in response to concerns that the current system of guardian and caregiver remuneration is inadequate and that the workload of guardianship courts and caregivers is too high. The FDP believes that the amendment will help to address these concerns and improve the quality of care for people who need guardians or caregivers.
The draft law and the amendment are currently being debated in the Bundestag. It is unclear when a final decision on the law will be made.
