According to the law, employees of the National Guard bodies are given additional powers to consider cases of administrative offenses related to petty hooliganism, use of weapons in violation of the established order, carrying cold weapons or objects that can be used as cold weapons, draw up reports and send them to court for consideration.

Such powers are also exercised in cases of attracting a minor to commit an administrative offense, engaging in antisocial behavior, consuming alcohol in public places, preparing, storing or distributing materials promoting national, racial, ethnic or religious enmity, begging, and illegal participation in gambling and other games based on risk.

In this case, the authority to consider cases of this category is preserved in the internal affairs bodies, and if the violation is detected by the National Guard employees, they are given the right to impose a fine.

In order to ensure legality in the consideration of cases of administrative offenses and to prevent cases of unjustified prosecution, it is determined that the heads of departments specified in the Law and their deputies have the right to consider cases of certain administrative offenses and impose fines on behalf of the National Guard bodies.

In connection with the introduction of the above-mentioned amendments to the Administrative Responsibility Code, in the case of violations of public order, the National Guard authorities are given the right to administratively detain offenders.

The law was approved by senators.
