The Committee on Legal Policy and State Building discussed the corresponding amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses today, and the bill was recommended for the parliament's plenary session.
According to the document, the fine for removing any element of an aircraft, cargo, or baggage found at the site of an aviation accident or incident without permission is proposed to be increased from 500 to 600 manats. A new article to be introduced in the Code provides for fines of 1,000 manats for individuals, 5,000 manats for officials, and 10,000 manats for legal entities for interfering with the activities of the permanent commission investigating aviation accidents and incidents.
New fines are also being established for violations of requirements for aviation personnel. Employing persons in civil aviation who do not have the necessary certificate, ID, or certification (issued in a foreign country and recognized in the prescribed manner) will result in fines of 3,000 manats for individuals, 5,000 manats for officials, and 20,000 manats for legal entities.

In the case of UAVs, the fines will be 3,000, 5,000, and 10,000 manats, respectively.
New fines are also provided for non-compliance with certification requirements in the field of civil aviation. If the determination of the professional suitability of aviation personnel is entrusted to uncertified medical institutions and their employees, officials will face a fine ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 manats, and legal entities will face fines ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 manats.

Other amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses relate to cases that have caused minor harm to human health through negligence.

Taking into account the circumstances of the case and the identity of the offender, an administrative arrest for a period of 10 to 20 days is also possible.
