This Law is an important step towards strengthening justice and legality in society, strengthening the legal protection of citizens and ensuring the transparency of the judicial system.
The Law introduces a number of fundamental changes and additions to the Code of Administrative Responsibility.
In particular, in order to prevent fraud in the automotive market, the Code is supplemented by a new article 1782, which separately establishes administrative liability for failure to inform the buyer of a change or replacement of the odometer indicating the mileage of the vehicle.
This rule is aimed at ensuring the right of consumers to receive reliable and complete information about the product and suppresses unfair practices in the used car market.
Another important area of the Law is the protection of the rights and interests of minors. Now the participation of a teacher or psychologist in the consideration of cases of administrative offenses involving minors is mandatory.
This creates a guarantee of taking into account the mental state of minors, preventing pressure on them and protecting the interests of the child in accordance with international standards.
The Law also systematized for the first time the institution of "recusal" and "self-recusal" in cases of administrative offenses. This is aimed at eliminating the interest of the judge or other authorized person in the case and ensuring the objectivity of decisions.
The procedure for reducing the period of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle or hunt is also being improved. Now this issue will be considered only by the court on the basis of clearly defined conditions. If a person has previously enjoyed this benefit or has committed a repeat offense during the term of punishment, mitigation is not applied to him.
The senators noted that the adoption of the Law contributes to the reform of the system of administrative responsibility based on the principles of humanity and justice.
The law was approved by the senators.
