The Parliament passed a new Criminal law and Law on Infringement earlier this year, both were supposed to come into force in 01, September 2016. However, now the Head of the Secretariat of the Government of Mongolia explains that the process of education of relevant government officials, and advertisement to the public for new laws, has not been sufficient. In light of this, it seems the government employee who will be responsible to enforce these laws are not yet ready, further new regulations in connection with implementation of the laws must be implemented as well. There is also a need to restructure the organizations in compliance with the law which may take quite some time to accomplish.
With all of these factors in mind, it is proposed that the implementation date be set back to 07 July 2017. This should allow enough time to address the outstanding issues.
