Citizens' appeals are at the core of new legislative initiatives

Members of the Presidium of the Supreme Council approved a list of issues that are planned to be discussed during the forthcoming plenary sessions. There are more than 20 issues on the agenda of tomorrow. Among them there is a number of tax laws, the process of consideration and adoption of which should be completed in September.

The subject of discussion during the October sessions of the Supreme Council will be amendments to the Civil Code. The initiative of the Bendery City Council was considered by members of the Committee on Legislation, Law Enforcement, Defense, Security, Peacekeeping, Protection of Citizens' Rights and Freedoms.

Galina Antyufeyeva, Gregory Dyachenko and Oleg Petrik were the authors of amendments to the law "On General Military Duty and Military Service". Legislators offer to give citizens who receive post-graduate professional education in full-time education, the right to defer from conscription to military service. The Supreme Council receives complaints from citizens about the return to the PMR legislation of the norm providing for the provision of this determent. According to the developers of the legislative initiative, appeals are due to the fact that the conscription of citizens for military service in the future does not contribute to the receipt and training at such levels of postgraduate professional education as the preparation of candidates of sciences and doctors of science. Thus, in the period from 2014 to 2017, 11 people applied to the military commissariats for postponement in connection with the receipt of postgraduate professional education in full time form (postgraduate study).

Deputies will also consider the law-in-draft introducing amendments and addenda to the law "On the passport of the PMR citizen", submitted by Galina Antyufeyeva and Gregory Dyachenko. The basis for its development also served as citizens' appeals. As stated in the explanatory note, "persons holding a passport of the USSR, mostly elderly, are asked to keep this document as a memorable item that is part of the history of the Soviet period of our state". The authors of the legislative initiative propose at the legislative level to fix the duty of the authorized executive body of state power to carry out the return of the passport of the citizen of the USSR to the applicant. The refund mechanism assumes its cancellation, which will be made by stamping the stamp "Annulled" on the first page of the Soviet passport.

At one of the October plenary sessions, legislators will hear reports on the progress of a number of state targeted programs: "Prevention of tuberculosis for 2016-2020", "Immunization of the population of the PMR in 2016-2020", "Oncology: improving the oncological care for the population of the PMR for 2016- 2020", "Prevention of HIV / AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) for 2016-2019", as well as discuss how effectively budget funds were used over the past year.

The dates of the next plenary sessions are preliminarily determined. It is scheduled for October 10 and 24.
