President Vladimir Putin has removed the term limit for heads of national associations of self-regulatory organizations in the field of geotechnical investigations, structural engineering and construction, Vedomosti reported Saturday, citing the Kremlin's press office.
Under amendments to the Urban Planning Code signed by Putin, the ban on their re-election for a second term was eliminated. However, heads of those associations will not be able to run for more than two consecutive two-year terms.
The amendments also require national associations of self-regulatory organizations to bring their charters in line with the Urban Planning Code.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
