Proposed legislation on penalties for misusing public resources, such as central heating and water supply systems, to be reviewed in the State Duma
The State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, is currently considering an amendment aimed at addressing the issue of consumers using communal services without contracts and unauthorized connections to water supply or sewerage systems.
This proposed amendment seeks to expand the Russian Federation's Code of Administrative Offenses to include liability for unauthorized use of these systems. Unauthorized connection is defined as connecting without the necessary permits or in violation of technical conditions.
If passed, the amendment will introduce sanctions for both individuals and legal entities. The penalties for individuals range from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles, while penalties for legal entities could be as high as 30,000 rubles. However, the proposed amendment does not specify the penalties for unauthorized use of water supply or sewerage systems by consumers at this time.
Representatives of housing and communal services have voiced concerns about the negative impact unauthorized use of these systems has on their operation. The amendment is expected to help regulate the use of communal services and prevent abuse of the water supply and sewerage systems.
The amendment is part of ongoing efforts to improve the management and operation of water supply and sewerage systems in the Russian Federation. It is hoped that the proposed changes will lead to more efficient use of resources and improved service for consumers.
It is important to note that the search results do not provide the names of the deputies or their parliamentary factions involved in amending the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
In summary, the State Duma is proposing an amendment to the Code of Administrative Offenses to address the issue of unauthorized use of water supply and sewerage systems. If passed, the amendment will introduce sanctions for such behaviour and is expected to have a positive impact on the operation and management of these systems.
