President rejected the law

The president rejected a law that would have provided for new sanctions for offenses related to illegal cutting of trees. This may be due to the small amount of fines. "For illegal cutting of a tree, a fine of up to 100,000 US dollars, 150,000 US dollars in France, and 8 million US dollars in Saudi Arabia have been set. We have a law that provides for a fine of up to 1,000 USD for this act, which was rejected by the President. The objection is correct, we will review the law," wrote Alisher Kadyrov, deputy speaker of the lower house of the parliament. We remind you that the law approved at the meeting of the Senate on May 3 included relevant amendments to the Code of Administrative Responsibility. In particular, for illegal cutting, uprooting, damage, destruction or transplanting of trees, bushes, other plants and young plants, citizens will be fined from 10 to 15 times of the BHM (previously it was from 5 to 10 times), and for officials, it was planned to impose a fine of 15 to 20 times (before it was 10 to 15 times)
