Following
the refuse to increase fines in the new version of the Administrative Code, the
Ministry of Justice proposed other amendments to the document. Federal fines
for violations of regional laws and municipal regulations are introduced for
the first time. A single sanction covering all members of the Federation is
particularly specified for noise violation and will be applied against violators
of the repair schedule and owners of noisy dogs. Some sanctions are softened: the
maximum period of mandatory work that can be assigned to citizens is reduced
from 200 to 60 hours. At the same time, following the adoption of the Code, the
government will for the first time establish unified requirements for the
placement and use of traffic cameras. Comment by senior lawyer Elena Izotova to
Kommersant Publishing House.
