On August 7, the President signed the Law "On probation" (Law No. 938 of the Republic of Uzbekistan), the "Legal information" Telegram channel reports. 

According to the law, probation is aimed at ensuring the execution of punishments in the form of deprivation of certain rights, compulsory community service, correctional work, restriction of liberty, social-legal and educational impact on prisoners. It is also a set of measures aimed at preventing and eliminating violations, identifying the causes of violations and the conditions that enable them.

The Cabinet of Ministers ensures the implementation of a unified state policy in the field of probation. The Probation Service of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the competent body in the field of probation.

Subjects assisting in the implementation of probation supervision include:

• labor bodies;
• state health system management bodies and health institutions;
• Family and Women's Committee and its regional divisions;
• republican executive authorities and educational organizations in the field of education;
• Youth Affairs Agency and its regional units.

The basis for placing a person on probation is a legally binding judgment, decision or decision of the court, as well as an act of amnesty or pardon.

According to the law, placing a person on probation is carried out by an employee of the district (city) probation department in the place of residence of this person by entering data into the probation information system.

An electronic monitoring device (electronic bracelet) is used based on the decision of the head of the district (city) probation department against a person under probation supervision, who has been officially warned about not fulfilling the requirements of the order of serving a sentence in the form of restriction of liberty, or has been brought to administrative responsibility for offenses related to violation of public order during the period of serving a sentence in the form of restriction of liberty. 

The law shall enter into force on the date of its official publication.
