What changed
This law consolidates the three highest honorary distinctions of the Community of Madrid -- the Gold Medal, the Grand Cross of the Order of 2 May, and the International Medal -- into a single piece of legislation, replacing scattered earlier norms. It clarifies who can receive each award, streamlines grant procedures, and creates a public electronic register of all distinctions awarded.
Who is affected
Institutions, individuals, and foreign dignitaries who may be nominated for or awarded Madrid's honorary decorations are affected. Current holders of discontinued lower-grade awards retain their existing entitlements.
