Fair approach restoring

Parliamentarians considered a legislative initiative to introduce amendments to the PMR Law “On State Support for Large Families” in the course of the meeting of the Social Policy Committee. The law-in-draft was developed by deputies of the Committee on Legislation, Protection of Rights and Freedoms of Citizens Galina Antyufeyeva, Gregory Dyachenko and Oleg Petrik. According to the authors, the reason for the development of the law-in-draft was the appeals of citizens.

Deputies proposed to include in the law a rule according to which citizens of the PMR who have been registered at their place of residence for at least 1 year (the so-called temporary registration) will be able to obtain the status of a large family. Only citizens of the PMR who have a residence permit or registration at the place of residence in the territory of the republic, and foreign citizens and stateless persons who have a residence permit in the PMR can receive it.

The relevant parliamentary Committee on Social Policy will recommend that the parliamentary corps adopt the law-in-draft on amendments to the law “On state support for large families” in the first reading at one of the upcoming plenary sessions.
