The State Duma did not equate Sevastopol with Moscow and St. Petersburg
The State Duma of the Russian Federation today did not equalize fines for violating traffic rules and migration laws in Sevastopol, Moscow and St. Petersburg, which, according to the Russian Constitution, are cities of federal significance.
The idea of raising fines to the metropolitan level was proposed by the Legislative Assembly of Sevastopol, which wanted to replenish the city budget in this way.
State Duma deputy from Sevastopol Dmitry Belik opposed this initiative.
“A simple example: all Russians pay 1500 rubles for parking in the wrong place, and Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents pay 3000 rubles. And, if the law had been adopted, Sevastopol residents would also pay 3000 rubles. Traffic violators must be punished. But excuse me, since when did the income level of the residents of our city rise to the level of Moscow or St. Petersburg,” Belik said.
As a result, the State Duma voted today only for the amendment to the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses, which gives the Sevastopol City Court the right to consider complaints and protests against decisions on administrative offenses that have entered into force.
