The law amended and supplemented four legislations.

In particular, a supplement to the Administrative Responsibility Code establishes liability for violation of the procedure for ensuring the transparency of the budgetary process. This procedure will come into force from April 1, 2021.

The Budget Code has also been harmonized with the Tax Code and other legislation in force.

In particular, the Budget Code introduces a rule on equalizing intergovernmental transfers.
