The Government Representatives and Housing Privatization

Parliamentary committee continues to work on a new draft the law "On the representative bodies of state power and local self-government" adopted in the first reading. The author Oleg Vasilaty found it necessary to develop regulatory mechanisms for the implementation of the unity of the system of representative bodies of state power. The initiative established the conceptual apparatus, the general principles of the formation and the operation of the representative bodies, how they interact at the state and local level. Parliamentarians hope that the legislative removal of existing legal gaps will increase the efficiency of state authorities and local self-government, and in addition, will reduce the cost of work on the preparation of standard-setting decisions and monitoring their implementation.

The necessity of introducing into the legal framework of this document has been discussed for a long time. Representatives of local councils took active participation in the work on its creation and improvement. The amendments were discussed at today's meeting of the Committee in the preparation of initiatives for the second reading. One of them concerns the regular number of local Councils. The Government supposes that there is no need to prescribe the mechanism of determining the law, while deputies insist on a legally enforceable right of local Councils to determine the ultimate value of staffing levels, based on the number of citizens living in the administrative-territorial unit, based on the methodology approved by the Supreme Council. They debated on the need for apparatus and village councils. Deputies doubt it, taking into consideration that the function of providing work of the villages councils and settlements assigned to the unit of local administration.

In general, taking into account voiced comments, the initiative was recommended for adoption in the second final reading. The Head Oleg Vasilaty informed colleagues of the Committee that members of the Consultative Assembly under the Chairman of the Supreme Council were interested in the fate of the law-in-draft. The first Pridnestrovian parliamentarians appreciate the importance and relevance of the document, the provisions of which, for example, lay a legitimate basis for meaningful practice of the Congress of deputies of all levels and provide the opportunity to convene the Presidium of the Council of the representative bodies.

and the Proposal of Deputy Vitaly Kalin on amendments to the Law "On privatization of state (municipal) housing stock" supported by the Committee on the state and regional policy. The Deputy considers it necessary to provide one-time right to free privatization of premises occupied under a contract of commercial hiring. These are cases of prolonged stay in apartments provided by the employer. The author proposed as a criterion to establish a 15-year period of continuous residence in such dwelling. The deputies of the profile committee reduce it to 10 years according to their amendment. The law-in-draft generally recommended for adoption in the second reading.
