Will the fine amount for "tinting" without permission be reduced?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has submitted a draft law on "Amendments and Additions to the Code of Administrative Responsibility of the Republic of Uzbekistan" for public discussion.

The draft law proposes to add Article 126-1 to the Code of Administrative Responsibility. According to it, drivers who violate the requirements specified in the relevant permit for changing (tinting) the windows may be fined in the amount of 1 times the basic calculation amount (375,000 soums) for using vehicles.

Currently, using vehicles with tinted and changed (darkened) windows without the relevant permit results in a fine of 25 times the basic calculation amount (9,375,000 soums).

The discussion of the draft law will continue until April 11.

It should be noted that in July 2024, the Strategic Reform Agency called for checking the proportionality of the amount of administrative fines to the committed offenses. The agency specifically stated that the fine amount for tinting car windows without permission should be reconsidered.
