YEREVAN, MARCH 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly on
March 18 passed a number of bills and legislative packages
(discussed on the same day), by which amendments and additions
are made to some laws.
In particular, a package of government-proposed amendments
to the RA Code of Administrative Infractions, the RA Criminal
Code, and the RA Law on Currency Exchange Regulation and Control
was passed in second reading and completely. Based on it,
greater responsibility is envisaged with respect to persons who
violate the requirements of the currency legislation.
The bill on amendments to the Law on State Registration of
Property Rights was passed in second reading and completely, by
which the provisions stipulating the grounds for appointment and
dismissal of heads of the State Cadastre of Real Estate and its
territorial units were declared invalid, with the aim of
eliminating the possible contradictions to the RA Law on Civil
Service.
The parliament also passed in first reading the
government-proposed bill on an amendment to the RA Law on
Provision of Apartments Built for Refugees Displaced from the
Republic of Azerbaijan in 1988-1992 to Refugees with the Right
of Ownership. According to the main speaker, first deputy
minister of territorial administration Vache Terterian, the
studies show that within the period envisaged by law, not all
refugees have applied for being provided the apartments they
occupy with the right of ownership, so in order to solve the
problem of privatization, it is proposed extending the deadline
for presenting applications until June 30, 2010.
