The government initiative was discussed at the second meeting of the group. Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin assured that all proposed amendments will be worked out by the deputies at the proper level. Especially those voiced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Consideration of changes will be made by profile committees, noted Volodin. According to him, people's representatives should "analyze the systemic legislation in the sphere of pension provision from the point of view of their profile direction". The Duma speaker stressed that the work of parliamentarians will not be less, as amendments to the bill on improving the pension system continue to flow and they are becoming "more and more". "But the main amendments that were made last week," the chairman of the State Duma explained, recalling the wishes of the head of state.

Tomorrow one of them will be considered at the plenary session, the legislator promised. It is about imposing responsibility for employers for unjustified refusal to admit or dismiss citizens of pre-retirement age. Note that the meeting of the working group was attended by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Maxim Topilin, the chairmen of the profile committees of the lower house, as well as representatives of four Duma factions, the public, expert, business and professional communities, trade union leaders.
