Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan

On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Adopted by the Legislative Chamber on November 25, 2025 Approved by the Senate on February 5, 2026

Systematic work has been carried out in recent years in our country aimed at creating new mechanisms to prevent corruption, increasing opportunities for access to fair justice, and streamlining court proceedings, as well as further improving the activities of special economic zones and industrial zones.

At the same time, the need has arisen for candidates for the positions of government minister and governor to submit an anti-corruption action plan, further streamline the work of courts, and prevent cases of business entities failing to fulfill their investment obligations and illegal use of land.

This Law introduces amendments to the Laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Local State Authority," "On the Regulation of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan," and "On the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan," and introduces additional provisions and amendments establishing the requirement for candidates for the positions of government minister and governor to submit an anti-corruption action plan.

Furthermore, amendments and additions are introduced to the Civil Procedure Code and the Economic Procedure Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On State Duty," providing for an increase in the value of the claim serving as the basis for reviewing civil and economic cases in a simplified procedure, the revocation of the right of business entities that have failed to fulfill their investment obligations to lease land plots, and the exemption of directorates of special economic zones and industrial zones from paying state duty regarding lawsuits filed in economic courts.

The adoption of this Law will serve to increase the responsibility and accountability of members of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan and governors in the field of anti-corruption efforts, increase opportunities for access to fair justice, improve the investment climate, and ensure the rational and efficient use of land.
