Changes to the Law "On Subsoil" adopted in the second reading

At the meeting of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan, parliamentarians considered a republican bill amending the law of the Republic of Tatarstan “On Subsoil”. The document is aimed at bringing it into compliance with federal law.

Azat Khamaev, Chairman of the Committee on Ecology, Nature Management, Agroindustrial and Food Policy, noted that the bill fixes a new type of subsoil use - to develop technologies for geological exploration, exploration and production of hard-to-recover minerals.

The federal law defines the grounds for the emergence of the right to use subsoil plots for this purpose, as well as the periods for which the subsoil is provided for use.

The rapporteur proposed passing the draft law on second reading and sending it to the Committee for further work. The parliamentarians supported this decision.
