The Council of Ministers has approved, through Resolution No. 304 of June 19, regulations governing the procedure for assigning individuals to perform community service and the procedure for issuing an official warning on administrative liability for evading such work. The document was published today on the National Legal Internet Portal and entered into force on June 19.
Under the regulations, a local authority must designate an authorized official responsible for registering court rulings imposing administrative penalties in the form of community service and for organizing the enforcement of such rulings.
The authorized official must, within three days of receiving a court ruling, notify the individual named in the ruling of the need to appear in order to receive an assignment for community service.
Within 10 days, the authorized official must determine the organization where the community service will be performed and the specific type of work to be carried out. The organization must not be the offender’s primary place of employment, service, or study.
The authorized official must also, in coordination with the organization, prepare a schedule for the performance of community service. The official is likewise responsible for explaining to the offender the conditions for performing the work, as well as their rights and obligations.
The assignment for community service must specify the name of the organization, the type of work, the period for its completion, the daily start and end times, and the personal details of the authorized official.
The regulations also establish the procedure for notifying an offender of liability for refusing to perform community service and set out the format of such notification.
