November 23, 2009

The bill has been prepared to implement the provisions of the Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly (Parliament) delivered on November 12, 2009. The bill introduces an institute of socially-oriented non-profit organisations and will support non-profit organisations engaged in socially useful activities.

The bill proposes to amend the Federal Law On Non-Profit Organisations in particular to encourage government authorities and local government to support socially-oriented non-profit organisations.

In addition, the changes define the activities of socially-oriented non-profit organisations and regulations concerning their work.

In connection with the proposed changes to the Federal Law On Non-Profit Organisations, the appropriate changes have been made to other federal laws.
