Karistusseadustiku muutmise seadus

This is a law from Estonia's parliament, the Riigikogu, amending the Penal Code (Karistusseadustik). The Penal Code defines criminal offences and sets the penalties that apply when they are committed. Amendments of this kind can change which acts are criminal, how severe the punishments are, or how sentences are applied. The title alone does not reveal which specific offences or penalties are being changed, so the precise scope should be checked in the full bill text. The changes would apply to people in Estonia who could be charged with or sentenced for criminal offences, as well as to courts, prosecutors and law enforcement bodies that apply the Penal Code. The procedure was referred to the Legal Affairs Committee. Details of who is most affected depend on the content of the amendments.
