With regard to the acts contained in the register, the Ministry conducts a legal examination for compliance with federal and regional legislation, as well as the charter of the municipality.

The recommendations of the system allow public authorities to respond pointwise to inconsistencies with legislation in the acts and make appropriate changes», - he explained.
As of April 1, the legal services of municipalities, using the recommendations of the system, eliminated inconsistencies in 35 thousand acts, which is 81%. During the period of application, the system revealed inconsistencies with the legislation in all 956 charters of municipalities. Local governments have introduced information on the elimination of contradictions in 243 charters.
