A. Lukashenko signed the law "On amending the codes on administrative responsibility"

This is the first major adjustment of these codes since their adoption in 2021. The law introduces administrative measures for a number of new offences: illegal transactions with digital tokens, violation of requirements for mobile network coverage and quality, non-compliance with the procedure for purchasing official passenger cars. A separate section is dedicated to the protection of traditional values. Liability is introduced for the propaganda of homosexual relations, gender transition, pedophilia, and childlessness with fines of up to Br 900 and up to Br 1.350 or administrative arrest if committed against a minor. The law also strengthens the prevention of offences among teenagers. The grounds for exemption from liability have been expanded. For example, in cases of voluntary compensation for environmental damage or correction of errors in statistical documents. Additional steps have been taken towards de-bureaucratization of the administrative process.
