Terms in the control and supervisory process: new in legislation

Abstract

Federal Law of 31 July 2020 No. 248-FZ On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation that entered into force on 1 July 2021 changed the concept of control and supervisory process, including in terms of its temporal regulation. The paper considers this Law in the context of the established terms as temporal elements of the control and supervisory process. The paper addresses new temporal ideas of the legislator in comparison with the previous legislation on control and supervisory process. The classification of terms in the control and supervisory process is proposed. The author suggests that the concentration of temporality in the normative regulation of control and supervisory activities increases and the legislator focuses on a more detailed time regulation of the control and supervisory process. It is concluded that only law enforcement practices will show whether the optimal balance is achieved between the terms and the quality of control and supervisory activities.
