The Parliament's agenda for the near future

A group of deputies of the Committee on Legislation proposed to introduce responsibility for refusing to provide goods or services to a person because of his health or age. It is about protecting the rights of people with special needs, pensioners and other socially vulnerable categories of citizens. The introduction of administrative responsibility, according to the authors of the law-in-draft will contribute to greater protection of the rights of disabled people and elderly people. The deputy corps will consider the relevant amendments to the PMR Code on Administrative Offenses in the course of one of the next plenary sessions.

The Supreme Council deputies will consider a number of draft laws of a social nature in the course of the next plenary sessions. Citizens of our republic who are in quarantine due to COVID-19 with children under 8 years old are invited to issue temporary disability benefits. This applies to those who are currently registered in employment centers as unemployed. Parliamentarians will consider amendments to the law on state support measures during quarantine restrictions in the second reading.

Deputies of the Supreme Council will consider the law-in-draft "On the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population" in the first reading at one of the next plenary sessions. This is a legislative initiative of Sergei Cheban, Chairman of the Committee on Social Policy. He suggested that when registering the results of medical examination, it would be possible to enter information about the diagnosis only with the consent of the employee. The medical report will indicate only suitability or unsuitability for work.

According to the law, the information contained in the medical documents of a citizen will be provided without his consent only when there is a threat of the spread of infectious diseases, mass poisoning, or at the request of the prosecutor's office.

The Supreme Council deputies after the May holidays will consider reports on the implementation of state target programs in the social policy and healthcare. There are six such programs in Pridnestrovie. Some of them completed their action last year. These are the state target program "Oncology: Improving Oncological Care to the PMR Population for 2016–2020", "Prevention of Tuberculosis for 2016–2020", "Immunization of the PMR Population for 2016–2020". The relevant ministry prepared final reports on these programs. A number of government programs continue to operate. This is a program for providing housing for orphans and children left without parental care, as well as programs for the prevention of tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS infection and cancer care for the population. The relevant ministries will report on these programs for 2020.
