Moscow will hear proposals from Khabarovsk

The chairman of the Legislative Duma of Khabarovsk Territory Victor Chudov took part in the Council of Legislators of the Russian Federation. Meeting of the Council held on the Day of Russian parliamentarism in the Tauride Palace in St. Petersburg.

Representatives of the regional parliaments, in particular, considered the preparation of the report on the state of Russian legislation in 2015. In this case, MPs have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to amend the mechanism of legislative initiatives of regional parliamentarians in the State Duma of Russia. Currently, the efficiency of the regional parliament to amend the federal legislation is low: only 8.5 percent of the bills of the Russian Federation from the consideration of the State Duma in 2014 were adopted.

“The current mechanism for introducing bills - through the committees of the State Duma - quite bumpy. As a rule, proposals of local MPs remain unclaimed. Therefore, one option would be to introduce bills through the legislative Council with the support of a certain number of regions. At a meeting of the Council of Legislators Commission on Federal Affairs, Regional Policy and Local Self-Government and the meeting with the Russian president said that such a mechanism introduction of bills on the proposal of regions today is very important”, — said Viktor Chudov.

He also underlined that the proposals were prepared the Legislative Duma of Khabarovsk Territory in the beginning of this year, and now, in fact, received the support of other lawmakers.

“Discussing the measures taken in the regions to stabilize the economy, lawmakers supported the Chairman of the State Duma Sergei Naryshkin on the need to establish a working group to monitor the local budgets. Because today regional authorities gained a lot of commercial loans in the banks that they meet its obligations is becoming harder and harder. The working group proposed to include representatives of the Council of Legislators, the State Duma, the Russian government”, — said Viktor Chudov.
