New rules for found items: keys, documents and personal data

The act amends regulations on found items. It introduces detailed procedures for documents containing personal data, keys, access cards and remote controls. Finders can now report finds at their place of residence. Military documents and small amounts of money have simplified procedures.
Key points
Found keys, access cards and remote controls will be destroyed after the collection period expires, not returned to the finder.
The finder can report a found item to the local authority at their place of residence, not only where the item was found.
Found money up to 5% of the minimum wage does not need to be handed over to the local authority.
Documents with personal data and military documents have separate, faster reporting procedures.
The local authority publishes information about found items online and makes it available as open data.
