Keskkonnajärelevalve seaduse ja teiste seaduste muutmise seadus (Keskkonnaameti vahetu sunni kohaldamise õiguse laiendamine)

Stage avaldatud_riigiteatajasUpdated 16d ago

This Estonian bill amends the Environmental Supervision Act and several other laws to extend the Environmental Board's power to apply direct coercive measures (direct enforcement, or 'vahetu sundi') on its own. Direct enforcement allows an authority to carry out required actions itself, without first going through a court, when someone fails to comply with environmental rules. Based on the title alone, the bill aims to give the environmental regulator a broader toolkit for ensuring compliance. The main parties affected are the Environmental Board as the enforcing authority and individuals or businesses subject to environmental obligations in Estonia who may face enforcement actions. Specific details of which obligations or sectors are covered cannot be confirmed from the metadata alone.
