More details - in the material "Gazeta.Ru". A bill on the general principles of organizing local self-government has been submitted to the State Duma. The document, authored by the heads of the specialized committees of the lower and upper chambers of the Russian parliament, Pavel Krasheninnikov and Andrei Klishas, ​​was prepared in development of the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation on a unified system of public power.

The provisions of the bill, as Krasheninnikov noted, are aimed at creating conditions for the comprehensive, sustainable socio-economic development of the country in the interests of citizens, society and the state.

Eliminate confusion

As the press service of the Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation, headed by him, clarified, “the bill provides for the simplification of legal structures, clarification of the competence of local self-government bodies”, which should eliminate confusion with the distribution of powers between the subject of the Russian Federation and the municipality.

“Urban and municipal districts are assigned an identical volume of inalienable powers aimed at the direct solution of local problems.

At the same time, the region can take away a number of powers of a particular municipality to ensure the interests of the population, "the committee said.

The structure of local self-government

The general structure of local self-government will not change and will consist of a representative body, the head of the municipality and the local administration, with the possibility of creating a control and accounting body.

The only way to form a representative body is through elections, the press service noted.

The head of the municipality is elected in direct elections or by a representative body.

"A single term of office is established for all local government officials - five years," the committee added.

If the head of the local administration is elected by the deputies from among its members, then his powers are terminated in the event of an early dissolution of the representative body.

At the same time, the bill strengthens the responsibility of the heads of municipalities to the head of the region. It is envisaged that one of the grounds for removing the head of a municipal formation to resign is "the systematic failure to achieve the performance indicators of local self-government bodies, which are enshrined in decrees of the President of the Russian Federation."

The head of the region has the right to issue a warning, to issue a reprimand to the head of the local administration for improper performance or non-performance of the delegated powers.

It is planned that the main part of the provisions of the bill will enter into force on January 1, 2023. At the same time, for five years - until January 1, 2028 - a transitional period is established, during which a gradual transition to a one-tier organization of local self-government is carried out.

The State Duma previously adopted a bill on the organization of public power in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The document provides for a significant strengthening of the powers of the federal center and establishes that federal bodies, regional authorities and local self-government bodies "in their totality are included in a single system of public authority." The president is at the head of this system.

Governors, in particular, will be able to apply to municipalities with an initiative to resign their leaders for "inefficiency".

We add that the latest edition of Article 12 of the Constitution reads: “Local self-government is recognized and guaranteed in the Russian Federation. Local self-government is independent within the limits of its powers. Local self-government bodies are not included in the system of state power bodies ”.
