As part of the public discussion, a draft law has been presented that amends the Law "On State Benefits." This step aims to improve social support for families and eliminate property barriers related to receiving payments.

The development of the document is linked to the need to strengthen demographic policy, support families with multiple children, and enhance the quality of life for citizens. One of the main proposals is to provide benefits to families in high-altitude areas where a third or subsequent child was born before January 1, 2026, and is under three years old. The project's initiators emphasize that this will help create equal conditions for all residents of high-altitude territories.

The draft law also proposes the abolition of "property assessments" when evaluating need: factors such as household appliances, transportation, or livestock will not affect the right to receive assistance. The main criterion will be the family's total income.

Additionally, a monthly supplement of 5,000 soms is provided for Hero Mothers. According to official data, there are over 31,000 women in the country who hold this honorary title.

Furthermore, the document introduces the principle of universality: benefits will be provided to all families with children under 12 years old, and in cases of need, until the children reach the age of 16.

The draft law is available for discussion on the website of the Jogorku Kenesh and will be submitted for parliamentary consideration after the public discussion phase is completed.
