Participants of the meeting of the Committee on Social Policy, Health, Labour, Family and Children discussed the initiative of the Prosecutor PMR, which proposes making changes to the law "On the burial and funeral business". The law-in-draft is designed based on numerous complaints of citizens who were denied funeral relatives allowance payment. These are the cases when a citizen died on the territory of Moldova, but buried in Pridnestrovie.

Under current law, allowance can be obtained only on the basis of the death certificate (issued for one-time presentation) and the Moldovan medical institutions issued a medical certificate, which is kept by the family and can be used indefinitely. To eliminate this inconsistency, the prosecutor suggested replacing the words "certificate" with more capacious concept of "document". Government opposes, arguing the emergence of multiple loopholes for getting under the law of funds for funeral procedures (at the place of the deceased receive a pension, the organization where he worked, the local executive authorities of the place of residence, etc.). There is no such problem in the neighboring state, because they have a single fund of national security. Payments to various categories of citizens are made from a variety of sources in Pridnestrovie. That is, ideally the solution requires a much more voluminous question - change the financing structure. According to the executive, the government is working in this direction.

Official conclusions on the initiative of the prosecutor have not been received. Two weeks ago, consideration for this reason, has been postponed. A letter was sent to the Prime Minister to accelerate the process of preparation of conclusions taking into account its relevance and social significance. There is no answer yet. Based on the fact that different authorities are aware of the problem and seek to solve it, the deputies decided to recommend the law-in-draft to be adopted in the first reading with a view to the preparation of the second an optimal mechanism could be developed.
