The authorities of the security and safety manager of an event will be expanded. The consent of a parent for a child to be accompanied by another adult must be certified by a declaration and one adult would no longer be able to accompany more than three children.

Current sanctions will be raised and community service will be introduced as a form of legal punishment.
