In his address, the public figure recalled cases when adults, free of charge or for a certain fee, buy alcoholic beverages and pass them on to their children.
At the same time, both federal administrative and criminal legislation currently does not spell out specific responsibility for such actions.
Against this background, some constituent entities of Russia have begun to consider or are already introducing into regional administrative legislation separate articles providing for liability for the purchase of alcohol by children.
“In this regard, I ask you to evaluate the feasibility of introducing into Part 1 of Art.
6.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia, an addition that equates the purchase of alcoholic beverages for subsequent transfer to a minor to the involvement of a minor in the consumption of alcoholic beverages, "the text of the appeal says.
In addition, Khamzaev proposes to add an addition to Art.
151.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia, equating the repeated purchase of alcoholic beverages for subsequent transfer to children with the repeated retail sale of alcohol to a minor.
Under Part 1 of Art.
6.10 of the Administrative Code of Russia currently provides for liability in the form of a fine from 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles.
Article 151.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia already provides for punishment in the form of a fine from 50 to 80 thousand rubles or correctional labor for up to one year.
Earlier in Russia it was proposed to ban the sale of alcohol and cigarettes to customers with children.
