The draft law on Making Addenda and Amendments to the Law on State Property Management establishes an authorizing norm that will enable the Government to set requirements for service vehicle quantities, limits, lubricants, fuel and other standards. The RA Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Armen Simonyan informed this during the sitting of the NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs on September 5.
The Deputy Minister clarified that all this is defined by the decision of the Government, the only problem is that the law lacks the authorizing norm.
According to the draft, the State Property Management Committee will be empowered to account for state movable property and maintain an electronic register.
As a result of the adoption of the draft, an authorizing norm will be established in the Law on State Property Management which will empower the RA Government to approve the standards of state property in a single legal act, as well as to account for state movable property.
