The work included contributions to the Homeland Defense Act and involvement in several other draft laws at multiple stages of development, reflecting a broad and collaborative approach to national security and governance.
In closing, Szczucki affirmed that leading the Government Legislation Center had been a privilege. He expressed confidence that the experience gained would benefit his future work as a member of the Polish Parliament, contributing to informed debate and effective policymaking.
