The state will help disabled defenders

A number of amendments to the law "On the Republican Budget 2017" was presented by the Deputy Minister for Social Protection and Labor Oleg Fedotov. He recalled that in July this year the Government approved a program of concessional lending for disabled people - defenders of the PMR. Means in the amount of 3 million rubles were allocated by the Pridnestrovian Savings Bank. The interest rate on the loan was 14%, half of them paid by the recipient, the remaining 7% - the state. To cover this rate, it is proposed at the legislative level to allow the allocation of funds from the reserve fund of the government in the amount of 210 thousand rubles.

During the discussion of this issue, parliamentarians expressed a proposal to expand the category of recipients of soft loans. Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Public Associations, Sport, Information and Youth Policy Igor Buga spoke about the need to include local warriors in the category of recipients of concessional loans for disabled people. By the way, there are 14 people in the republic.

Taking into account all made comments, the work on the law-in-draft will continue in the second reading mode.
