Parliament Committee considers amendments to the Law on Pastures

On June 10, 2019, the Parliament Committee on Agrarian Policy, Water Resources, Ecology and Regional Development approved the third reading of the draft Law “On Amendments to the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Pastures”.

The draft law was developed in order to bring it in compliance with the norms of the Land Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, in terms of providing land for subsoil use without transferring (transforming) into another category of land.

The main problem of obtaining land plots by subsoil users is the impossibility to obtain title deeds for pasture land. To ensure the possibility of grazing land for all types of minerals, it is proposed to revise the concept of “using pastures for other purposes”.
