Due to the relevance of Law 38-FZ, since its inception in 2006 to the present, it has undergone a huge number of amendments (more than 50 amending documents). In 2017 alone, amendments to the law were made three times: in March (FZ-44 "On Amendments ..") and July (FZ-216 and FZ-218). Let's consider in more detail.

What changes have been made?

Consider the amendments made in the outgoing 2017 by each of the three amending documents.

1. FZ-44 dated 03/28/2017 "On amendments ..", the release of which was associated with the formation of mechanisms for increasing the income of subjects of children's, youth and professional sports, led to the following amendments:

Paragraph 1 of Part 2 of Article 27 of Federal Law-38 was added. Thus, advertising is based on the risk of games and betting is allowed only on television and radio from 22 to 7 hours local time, except in the case prescribed part 2.1 articles (see below).

Article 27 FZ-38 was supplemented by paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2.

Part 2.1 of article 27 states that advertising of risk-based games and bets held by bookmakers, as well as various types of symbols (company names, trademarks) is allowed within the broadcast or recording of sports events (matches, races, etc.). At the same time, the duration of such advertising cannot exceed 20% of the total allowable duration. advertisements during sports broadcasts (regulated in accordance with parts 3 and 9 of article 14 and parts 2 and 8 of article 15 of the law).

In turn, for television, the maximum total duration of any kind of advertising is 15% of the broadcast time per hour, and for radio - 20% of the broadcast time during the day.

Part 2.2 of Article 27 prescribes the possibility of publishing the services of betting organizations in specialized print media and on the Internet - on amateur sports websites, as well as on the official portals of Russian sports federations and leagues. In addition, from now on, the legal possibility of using sports facilities and the uniform of athletes as an advertising platform has been fixed.

The interaction of sports organizations and bookmakers should bring financial benefits, primarily in the form of additional income for the subjects of professional and youth sports. In addition, the expansion of opportunities in terms of advertising of the betting organizations themselves makes the services they provide more accessible and understandable to the average person.

2. FZ-216 of 07/29/2017 also made some amendments to the FZ-38 law on advertising. So, article 40 law FZ-38 was supplemented with part 4.1, which is essentially a link, since from now on the rules for advertising on the territory innovative institutions in Russia defines the Federal Law N 216 "On innovative scientific and technological centers and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation."

3. Another amending document, FZ-218, issued on the same day (July 29, 2017), made adjustments to the law we are considering: part 8 of article 28 is changed about advertising financial services and financial activities. The changes were related to the construction sector, and more precisely, to the shared construction of multi-apartment and other buildings. The article prescribes a provision on the inadmissibility of attracting funds from "shareholders" until the necessary documents are received: a building permit, state. registration of the right of ownership or lease (sublease) of the land plot on which construction is underway, confirmation of compliance of both the developer himself and project documentation requirements established by law. The change in the law consisted of a note, according to which the collection of these documents is necessary only in cases provided for by the law of December 30, 2004 "On Participation in Shared Construction of Apartment Buildings and Other Real Estate Objects and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation."

Consider also individual articles of the law FZ-38 - Art. 3 laws on advertising and art. 38, which were not affected by the changes in the past year.

Article 3 FZ-38 denotes the main concepts used in the text of the law, such as: advertising, object of advertising, product, inappropriate advertising, advertiser(manufacturer, seller of goods), advertising producer(advertising agency, for example), advertising distributor(television channel, radio station, printed edition etc.), consumer(listener, viewer) sponsor, sponsorship, social advertising, antitrust authority.

Article 38 FZ-38 prescribes such an aspect of advertising activities as responsibility for violating the legislation of the Russian Federation on advertising activities. The liability of individuals and legal entities is determined in accordance with the civil regulatory framework, the liability of advertisers, advertising producers and advertising distributors - in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses.

Persons whose interests have been violated as a result of the dissemination of inappropriate advertising may apply to the court for compensation (moral damage, lost profits, compensation for harm caused to health or property), as well as for its public refutation. The Antimonopoly Service is also authorized, if necessary, to force a refutation of false advertising at the expense of the advertiser through the court.

If a fine was issued for violation of one of the above parties, its amount is distributed as follows: 40 percent goes to the budget of Russia and 60% goes to the subject of the Russian Federation. Payment of the fine does not release the violator from the obligation to stop the violation, that is, to stop the publication or distribution of advertising that is recognized as unreliable.
