Amendments to the Civil Procedure Code

The parliamentarians adopted amendments to the Civil Procedure Code and the law "On the social rehabilitation of patients with chronic alcoholism, drug addiction or substance abuse" in the second final reading today. The changes relate to the regulation of the procedure for considering cases on sending citizens to medical and labor dispensaries, as well as changing the terms of stay in such institutions and early release. These aspects as noted by representatives of the Supreme Court of the PMR were not regulated by law until now. Several fundamental points are envisaged within the framework of the changes now according to the deputies of the relevant Committee on Legislation, Law Enforcement, Protection of the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens. In particular, obligatory participation of the prosecutor and a representative of the internal affairs bodies was established when considering an application for referral for treatment.

There are two medical and labor dispensaries in the republic now – one for women and one for men, where more than 30 people are being treated. The adopted changes will eliminate the gap in the Pridnestrovian legislation, the parliamentarians consider. The document was sent for signature to the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.
