CrimeaPRESS reports:

The bill introduces amendments <...> aimed at extending the period of validity of the features of regulation of property, land and urban planning relations in the territories of the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2030. The State Duma Committee on State Building and Legislation recommends that the State Duma approve in the first reading the draft federal constitutional law, — stated in the committee’s conclusion available TASS.

About the bill

The document was submitted to the State Duma in April by a group of deputies from United Russia. According to the current legislation, until January 1, 2025, in the territories of these regions, features of the regulation of property and land relations, as well as relations in the field of cadastral registration of real estate and state registration of rights to real estate, can be established by regulatory legal acts of Crimea and Sevastopol in agreement with the authorized federal executive body.

The authors of the initiative explained that the extension of the period is necessary to support participants in the special military operation (SVO) and members of their families, including by providing them with free land plots. “Currently, 9,912 participants in the special military operation and members of their families are in line to receive ownership of a free plot of land; 826 land plots have been provided for free ownership,” notes the explanatory note to the project. The deputies added that, given the number of citizens already in the queue and their increase as the SVO continues, work in this direction will continue for a long time.

Also, according to the current standards, until January 1, 2025, the regulatory legal acts of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in agreement with the relevant federal department, may establish specifics for regulating relations regarding the identification and demolition of capital construction projects erected or created in violation of Russian legislation, the legislation of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The need to extend the validity period of these features is due to the need to optimize the work of state authorities and local governments in this direction, to develop a unified mechanism for the demolition or bringing into compliance with current legislation capital construction projects erected or created in violation of the law— stated in the document.
