Revised law on Offence approved www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Parliament approved a revised law on Offence during yesterday’s plenary session. The revised law on Offence regulates over 220 types of offences. The law has been revised to improve the current law by re-classifying some types of offences, clarifying, adding and changing some provisions, which were missed, unclear and duplicated.
For example, the offence of affray is separated into two: misbehavior in public place and affray. Offence of misbehavior in public place includes actions like voiding, spitting and throwing cigarette end, while the actions of breaching publicly accepted rules and norms such as disturbing others, brawling, breaching queue, causing harm to others’ property or injure others will be considered as affray.
Acts of growing drug plants, holding drugs and psychotropic substances or providing with premises or storage are considered as a criminal case, however, the conduct of sniffing gas or clay for inebriation will be charged in offence law. Revised law will come into force on July 01, 2017.
