This provision was added after the beheading in the middle of the street of Professor Samuel Paty in October.
“The public service, the armed wing of the impartiality of the State”
– For “Better protect the agents in charge of the public service”, threats, violence or intimidation aimed at them will be punished.
– The bill inscribes the principle of (religious) neutrality of private law agents entrusted with a public service mission (SNCF, Aéroports de Paris, for example). Until now, only case law has referred to the matter.
– A procedure of “Republican deficiency”, allowing the prefect to suspend the decisions or actions of any community that seriously disregards the neutrality of the public service, under the control of the administrative judge.
– The scope of the file of perpetrators of terrorist offenses (FJIAIT) is modified to include “Offenses relating to provocation and condoning terrorist acts”. Their authors will be banned “To exercise functions in contact with the public”.
Better supervision of associations

Reorganize cults
It is “Guarantee the transparency of the conditions of the exercise of worship”.
While Muslim places of worship are, for historical reasons, mostly under the association regime provided for by the 1901 law, the bill encourages them to register under the 1905 regime, which is more transparent from an accounting point of view. and financial.
In return, they will be able to have access to tax deductions or to draw income from buildings acquired free of charge.
Foreign donations exceeding € 10,000 will be subject to a declaration of resources. In addition, “The certification of the annual accounts by an auditor is provided for when the association benefits from advantages or resources from abroad”.
A disposition «Anti-coup» is intended to prevent any takeover of a mosque by extremists.
Another article provides that a “Ban on appearing in places of worship can be pronounced by the judge […] in the event of conviction for provocation to acts of terrorism or incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence ”.
Another provision: the right of opposition of the Tracfin service will be extended, to counter the “Unwanted flows”, according to Minister Gérald Darmanin.
Education at school
The bill puts an end to home schooling for all children from 3 years old, except “For very limited reasons relating to the situation of the child or that of his family”.
It strengthens the supervision of schools outside the contract, in particular by introducing “An administrative closure regime” in case of “Drifts”.
In addition, it plans to award “For each school-age child a national identifier allowing the academic authorities to ensure that no child is deprived of their right to education”.
The sports federations recognized by the State go from “Guardianship regime” has a “Control regime”. For approved federations, the “Respect for the principles and values of the Republic” will be included in the approval.
Dignity and equality of all
An article intends “Prohibit all health professionals from drawing up certificates attesting to a person’s virginity”.
The text strengthens its arsenal on polygamy – banned in France – by generalizing the ban on issuing any residence permit to foreigners living in France in a state of polygamy.
To fight against forced marriages, the registrar has the obligation to “To talk separately with the future spouses when there is a doubt about the free nature of the consent” and of “Seize the public prosecutor for possible opposition to marriage if he retains his doubts”.
