Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- At the seventh plenary meeting of the upper house of parliament, members of the Senate considered the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On amendments and additions to some legislative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan."

The law introduces amendments and additions to 17 laws, including 8 codes and 9 laws. These include the Criminal Code, the Code of Administrative Responsibility, the Labor Code, the Civil Code, the Family Code, the Economic Procedure Code, the Customs Code and the Tax Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

At the same time, this Law introduces amendments and additions to such laws as “On Joint Stock Companies and Protection of Shareholders’ Rights”, “On Counteracting Legalization of Incomes Received from Criminal Activity, Financing of Terrorism and Financing the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction”, “On the Securities Market papers”, “On weapons”.

The Protection Order was established by the Law on the Protection of Women from Oppression and Violence. However, the law remains open to the question of liability for failure to comply with the restrictions provided for by the protection order. Therefore, for the failure to comply with the requirements of the protection order by a person prone to committing or having committed harassment and (or) violence, administrative liability is established, which once again guarantees compliance with these restrictions.

In turn, the Law "On State Duty" was supplemented with a new clause, according to which the plaintiff is exempted from paying the state duty in civil courts for claims for compensation for material damage and compensation for moral harm to women who have suffered from oppression and violence.

Also, according to the amendments, the corresponding part of the article of the Criminal Code, establishing responsibility for violation of the right to work, is set out in a new edition. In accordance with it, the victim can be not only the mother of the child, but also another person close to him.

It is prohibited to transport goods and passengers by vehicles belonging to foreign carriers between points located on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan (cabotage), unless otherwise stipulated by international agreements. Therefore, the Code of Administrative Responsibility of Uzbekistan is supplemented by a new article establishing liability for the illegal use of vehicles intended for the transport of goods and (or) passengers registered in other countries.

Taking into account the increase in cases of illegal actions, as well as in order to strengthen responsibility for obstructing the legal activities of the state inspector of the environmental and environmental protection bodies, as well as failure to comply with his instructions, the Code of Administrative Responsibility of Uzbekistan is supplemented with a new article.

It was noted that the introduction of the above changes and additions will serve to ensure the rule of law in our country, to solve the problems of the population of concern to the population, to reliably protect their rights and freedoms, as well as to increase the responsibility of state bodies.

Senators approved the law.
