e-Sbírka, Ministerstvo vnitra České republiky

Maintains the text in force

The Czech state's own legal information system, run by the Ministry of the Interior and in service since 1 January 2024, which publishes the Sbírka zákonů a mezinárodních smluv and maintains every Act as a series of point-in-time versions. Three addresses serve the same material and they behave differently. e-sbirka.gov.cz (to which www.e-sbirka.cz redirects with HTTP 308) is an Angular single-page application: every address answers with the same 1,040-byte shell, and the text only appears once JavaScript has run, so it is readable by the extraction service and by nothing else. e-sbirka.gov.cz/sbr-externi is the JSON API the application calls; /dokumenty-sbirky/{staleUrl}/obsah returns the table of contents for a version, where staleUrl is the URL-encoded /sb/{year}/{number}/{YYYY-MM-DD}, and /dokumenty-sbirky/{dokumentId}/detail-zneni returns the version's title, its citation and the dates it is in force between. opendata.eselpoint.gov.cz/esel-esb serves the same corpus as linked data under ELIs of the form /eli/cz/sb/{year}/{number}, where the act's page lists every version it has ever had, which is how the version in force on a given day is found rather than guessed. Each version is also generated as a clean PDF and DOCX: POST-free GET to /sbr-externi/stahni/informativni-zneni/{dokumentId}/PDF returns a JSON body carrying a file id that is stable across calls, and /souborove-sluzby/soubory/{id} then serves the document itself.

Maintains the current text of the law as amended, so you can read a provision as it stands today rather than reconstructing it from amendments.

Cannot be cited for

**The PDF and the web page are two manifestations of one document and neither is quotable throughout.** The generated PDF is typeset with soft hyphens at every line break - 2,055 of them in the 781,000 characters of Act No. 326/1999 Sb. - so a sentence that crosses a line comes out as 'na úze[soft hyphen] mí', and a quotation spanning one is unreadable even though it verifies. The web page has no hyphenation but doubles every term the CzechVoc dictionary links: 3,200 occurrences in the same Act, where 'cizince' renders as 'cizincecizince' and 'zaměstnanecké karty' as 'zaměstnanecké kartyzaměstnanecké karty'. A quotation therefore has to be taken from whichever manifestation the sentence survives in, and some sentences survive in neither, so the quotation is cut short rather than tidied. The versions it serves are **informativní znění**, informative consolidations: the Collection as promulgated is what has legal force. A version carries no cut-off date inside the document - the date is in the file name, in the address and on the page that serves it, and that is where the consolidation dates recorded here come from. It cannot be cited for anything the Collection does not carry: the central register of vacancies open to employee-card holders is kept administratively, the government-approved migration programmes that Government Regulation No. 220/2019 Sb. relies on by name - the qualified employee programme, the highly qualified employee programme, the key and scientific personnel programme and a digital nomad programme - are approved by the government and published nowhere in it, and the per-embassy allowance actually remaining is published by each embassy under section 181b(3) rather than here. Section headings for repealed sections are omitted from a version entirely, so a gap in the numbering is a repeal and not a dropped page.

Publication rhythm

A new version of an Act appears on the day an amendment takes effect, and its own address is that date. Act No. 326/1999 Sb. has been versioned 2025-09-03, 2025-10-01, 2025-12-09, 2026-01-01 and 2026-06-12 within a year.
