Keeping military records: Federal law defines a new way of transmitting information

Legal Digest News
On August 8, 2024, Federal Law No. 270-FZ of 08.08.2024 came into force: information about military service personnel can be transferred to the military enlistment office through the electronic Register of military registration.

At the plenary session, the State Duma adopted immediately in the second and third readings a bill on the right of employers to transfer information about military service personnel to military enlistment offices, including through the Military Register.

The document was submitted for consideration in June: the proposed amendments supplemented the law "On military duty and military service". Until now, the norm has obliged managers and other officials responsible for military accounting work to send information about military personnel and students required for military registration to military registration offices within five days from the date of their change. They could use the public services portal to transmit such information. According to the amendments, such information can now be sent, including through the Military Register.

Moreover, the heads of organizations have the obligation to transfer information about citizens who evade military registration to military enlistment offices. Such information can now also be provided promptly to military enlistment offices using the Registry.

Legislators note that the innovations clarify and simplify the interaction of military commissariats with organizations whose employees are on military registration or evade registration.

We remind you that keeping military records is a direct obligation of the employer (Federal Law No. 53-FZ dated 03/28/1998 "On Military Duty and Military Service"). Failure to fulfill the obligation to keep military records threatens with large fines for both legal entities and officials: for example, late notification and attendance of employees subject to conscription for military service on mobilization, at assembly points or military units, or failure to assist in organizing notification and attendance, a fine is imposed (Part 1 of Article 19.38 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation) in the amount of up to 80,000 rubles for officials and up to 500,000 rubles for legal entities.
