Summary/Abstract: The year 2022 was a time of dynamic changes in the criminal executive law, also covering the electronic surveillance system. With two independent legal acts, the legis- lator introduced a number of new solutions in the area of surveillance, making the said institution an increasingly appealing one. The article distinguishes two key routes of these amendments: giving penitentiary commissions the right to issue decisions on electronic surveillance and introducing the possibility of granting a break in the execution of a prison sentence by way of monitoring a convict’s whereabouts using electronic means. Also, a synthetic analysis was carried out on the individual provisions of chapter VIIa of the Act which fell under the purview of the legislature.
