The bill, introduced by a group of deputies headed by Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the Duma Committee on the Financial Market, was preliminary approved by the leadership of the State Duma and was recommended for inclusion in the work program of the spring session of 2023 for January.
The Council has limited the deadline for submitting any amendments, feedback, comments and proposals to the financial market committee on 20 January. Accordingly, the first reading of the bill by the Duma should take place on January 23-27, 30 or 31.
