Abstract:
On July 4, 2020, the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, provided for in Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation No. 1-FKZ of March 14, 2020, «On improving the regulation of certain issues of the organization and functioning of public authorities» came into force. In this regard, it is important to improve federal legislation in order to bring it in line with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to amend a number of legislative acts of the Russian Federation defining the status of persons holding public office, including federal constitutional laws. For example, Federal law No. 79-FZ of 27 July 2004 “On the state civil service of the Russian Federation” appears to require a number of changes. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the duties of a state civil servant related to the presence (acquisition) of citizenship of a foreign state or a residence permit or other document confirming the right to permanent residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of a foreign state. The restrictions provided for by the new provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation for civil servants need to be promptly incorporated into the legislation of the Russian Federation on the civil service of the Russian Federation.
