Abstract

As of January 1, 2018, the provisions of the new Act on the financing of education tasks came into force, whereby the statutory legislator authorised the legislative bodies of local government units to, among others, determine the procedure for the granting and settlement of subsidies, as envisaged by Article 38 para. 1 of the act on the financing of educational tasks. These powers (convergent with the powers granted by the provisions of the subordinate act on the education system) give this body the possibility of technically regulating the scope of data which an application for subsidy must contain, but not to determine the principles and conditions as necessary conditions. The article presents selected judgements of administrative courts (based on previous regulations), which emphasize the abuse of power by the legislative bodies of local government units.
