July 1 is the middle of the year, and during this period many new legislative acts traditionally come into force in Russia. This year is no exception. Since yesterday, many previously adopted innovations in legislation have come into effect in Russia. And it cannot be said that all of them will please the citizens. New laws from July 1, 2018 in Russia: what changes for citizens from the second half of 2018.
It was from July 1, 2018 that the so-called “Yarovaya package” began to operate in full force. This is a series of new laws that were adopted ostensibly as a fight against terrorism. In fact, these acts may have completely different goals. Let's say they allow certain companies that produce specific equipment to earn money.
From July 1, 2018, mobile operators and numerous Internet services, including instant messengers and individual sites, are required to store user correspondence, information about their conversations, photos and other data exchanged by people for 6 months.
At the first request of law enforcement operators, telecom operators are required to provide such information.
The biggest problem with the Yarovaya package is that it requires incredible technical capabilities to complete it. So, the telecom operator MTS said that within 5 years they would need to purchase equipment for 60 billion rubles, according to the stories of Beeline and Megafon, amounts of about 40 billion appear in the same 5 years.
At whose expense such an "anti-terrorist" holiday will be paid for, it has long been clear. Mobile communications and Internet services in the country will definitely become more expensive.
July 1 is the traditional period of raising tariffs for housing and communal services in the country. The government has now backed away from raising tariffs since January, which helped drive up inflation from the start of the year.
Today, utility tariffs have been increasing since July, and this year the national average growth will be 5%. Different services will become more expensive by different percentages, thus, depending on how much a person spends on certain utilities, for specific families, the increase in housing and communal services costs can be more than 5%.
The new law, according to which, from July 1, 2018, employees of budgetary organizations in our country can receive wages and other payments from the budget only on Mir cards, should be interpreted correctly. If a state employee receives a salary in cash or to a bank account, then no one will oblige him to issue a Mir card.
However, if he receives his salary on a bank card/ the account to which it is linked, then there are no other options from July 1.
Cards of the Mir system began to be introduced in Russia after the threat of disconnection of our country from Visa / MasterCard systems amid the events of spring 2014 arose. And, although the shutdown did not happen in the end, the authorities decided to develop an internal Russian version of the payment system.
Without exception, all Russians, at least for now, are not required to use Mir cards. The same state employees can have cards of other systems and freely transfer money to them from Mir if they are not satisfied with this product.
In Russia, the rules for the organized transportation of children's groups in buses come into effect. From July 1, 2018, buses weighing up to 5 tons, manufactured more than 10 years ago, do not have the right to transport children in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Leningrad regions. In other subjects, this rule will come into force from April 2019.
Buses heavier than 5 tons will not be able to carry children in the capital regions from October 2018, in other subjects - from October 2019.
From July 1, 2018, a new norm of the law on shared construction begins to work in Russia. From now on, developers cannot directly sell square meters in unfinished houses.
Over the next year, there are the following options for acquiring apartments from developers in houses under construction:
From July 1, 2019, the second option will be the only acceptable one. In fact, shared construction will end its existence in 2019, but until that time there is a certain hybrid form.
Since July 1, the excise tax on tobacco products has risen by 10%. For 1,000 cigarettes, the state will take 1,718 rubles instead of the previous 1,562 rubles. On average, the cost of 1 pack of cigarettes in Russia will be about 150 rubles.
First of all, from July 1, 2018, the right to lunch for workers 4 hours a day or less is cancelled.
Also, overtime / processing will be paid differently. The changes here are on the side of the workers. If earlier processing was paid 1.5 times, then from July 1, 2018, employers are required to pay it 2 times.
The introduction of new cash registers with the Internet in Russia continues. Such cash registers will transmit information about each purchase online to the tax authorities.
From July 1, 2018, individual entrepreneurs on an imputed tax / patent using hired labor switched to new cash registers. Online cash registers are now obligatory for catering establishments.
These changes come into effect on July 8, 2018. From this date, not only the sale, but also the purchase of rare animals and aquatic biological resources listed in the Red Book will be punishable by the criminal code.
For this crime, fines from 500 thousand to 1.5 million rubles are provided, it is possible to restrict freedom up to 2 years or imprisonment up to 4 years.
Contrary to certain misconceptions, the only legal method for determining the degree of intoxication of drivers was a breathalyzer. From now on, the law allows taking a blood test from motorists.
The amendment was necessary due to the fact that certain drivers are drunk to such an extent that they cannot blow into a breathalyzer. Moreover, knowing about the weaknesses in the law, some deliberately exaggerated the degree of intoxication, so as not to blow into the tester.
From now on, in medical institutions, it will be legally possible to take a blood test from motorists. If according to it the alcohol content in the blood is more than 0.3 ppm, such drivers will be subject to the penalty for drunk driving.
The form of carrying out the procedures for determining the supplier (contractor, performer) has been changed. Now competitions will be held in electronic form.

Federation, the purchase by the customer from legal entities recognized as interdependent with him, as well as the purchase of goods, works, services by a legal entity registered in the territory of a foreign state, in order to carry out its activities in the territory of a foreign state.
Procurement methods are also divided into competitive and non-competitive. Competitive procurement includes tender, auction, request for proposals and request for quotations.
The procedure and cases for the blocking of funds contributed by participants to secure applications for participation in competitive procurement, and the termination of such blocking, have been established. It also defines the procedure for using the state information system that records legally significant actions, inaction in a single information system, on an electronic platform during such a purchase.

Innovations concern millions of citizens. This is the emergence of electronic sick leave, and the provision of discounts for the purchase of the first car, and an increase in the minimum wage. And the next stage of introduction of payment cards "Mir" begins.
July 1 is not a red day of the calendar, but it is from the beginning of the second half of the year that a number of new tariffs, norms and rules are traditionally introduced in Russia. Some innovations will be noticed only by economists, while others will have to be mastered by all of us.
Those who are already accustomed to making an appointment with a doctor via the Internet and know what an electronic prescription is, for sure, will also want to take an electronic sick leave. However, this is the choice of each patient. The usual paper ballots also remain. As an experiment, the system has already been tested in six regions of Russia.
Most of the patient's data is entered automatically, so there will be fewer errors. Anyone who has ever issued a duplicate of a paper sick leave knows that it takes several days and a lot of nerves to reissue.
“1 million 600 thousand sick leave certificates were sent for re-registration. A little less than five million man-hours per year of saving time for replacing these very sick paper sheets, ”says Sergey Aleshchenko, Deputy Chairman of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation.
Virtual sick leave cannot be wrinkled, lost or faked. The fact that the employee is ill, the employer can see immediately after the bulletin is issued. Electronic disability certificates should make life easier for both patients and doctors. A few mouse clicks instead of careful manual filling.
Paper documents are gradually becoming a thing of the past: air tickets on the Internet, paying utility bills online. Now everywhere you can pay with cards of the Russian national payment system "Mir". They have already been issued more than eight million and will be issued, first of all, to state employees and pensioners. The latter will not pay any commissions for servicing new cards. Getting the "World" is not necessary. But then the payments are only in cash. The transition from other payment systems is promised to be made smooth.
“For those who receive salaries from the budget, starting from July 1, these payments should be made to those who are just starting to receive this kind of salary, and those who are already receiving transfer deadlines to Mir cards on cards of some other payment systems will be set within one year until July 2018. For pensioners, this period is even longer,” explained Vladimir Komlev, Director General of NSPK JSC.
It will also be possible to pay with cards of the domestic payment system abroad. Mir works in partnership with payment systems in China, Japan, the popular MasterCard and a number of others.
“The Mir card is a completely Russian payment system, which was created, among other things, in response to the sanctions of Western countries, it is fully provided with all Russian technologies, it is license independent, so it is completely safe, and can satisfy the needs of citizens in order to they were not afraid of any possible outside influences,” Vladimir Komlev explained.
Another decision, which should make the movement of budget money transparent, also comes into force today. The government carried out the order of Vladimir Putin. Regulate the entire public procurement system, i.e. The Ministry of Finance of Russia will now monitor the targeted use of funds. According to experts, such centralization will increase control over customers. But it will be easier for businesses to get a government contract.
Another financial norm - now salaries below 7800 rubles should not be. From July 1, the minimum wage, the minimum wage, is increased by 300 rubles. Employers, including those in the public sector, will have to pay their employees at least no less than this amount.
And good news for those who are going to buy a new car. Starting today, a government decree on the allocation of funds to stimulate car sales through preferential car loans and car leasing comes into force.
This means that the already existing state program, which provides discounts on new cars in exchange for scrapping old cars or on a trade-in basis, will be expanded. It is assumed that such projects as "Family Car", "First Car", "Own Business", "Russian Tractor" and "Russian Farmer" will be launched. For some of them, an additional discount may become a bonus.
From July 1, 2018, new regions will join the FSS pilot project. In them, benefits are paid directly from the FSS (employers only submit documents to the social insurance fund). The changes are provided for by Government Decree No. 619 dated May 30, 2018.
Here are 6 new regions:
