The Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation approved that conscripts must notify about moving throughout the year

The upper house of the Russian parliament, the Federation Council, approved on December 10 the draft law adopted by the State Duma on December 9 in the second and third, final, reading, which obliges citizens of conscription age to notify the military commissariat of their move throughout the year.

The document amends the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses – on liability for failure to notify about departure for more than three months from the place of residence or place of stay. It will be necessary to report to the military commissariat regardless of the period of the draft.

It is proposed to leave the liability the same as in the current legislation. It provides for administrative fines from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles.

The authors of the legislative changes were the chairman of the State Duma defense committee Andriy Kartapolov and his two deputies, Andriy Krasov and Yury Shvitkin.

The initiative is related to the law on military conscription in Russia throughout the year. According to this law, from January 1, 2026, the draft will take place throughout the calendar year – from January 1 to December 31. This will allow military commissions to constantly serve summonses, conduct medical commissions and meetings of conscription commissions.
