Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Adylbek Kasymaliev signed a resolution introducing changes to the current list of diseases that prevent weapon ownership and the performance of security functions. The reform concerns the procedure for undergoing medical examinations.
What has changed in the medical examination rules
According to the new rules, electroencephalographic (EEG) examination and experimental-psychological examination will no longer be mandatory for everyone without exception. These procedures will now be prescribed only if there are clinical indications and upon referral from a psychiatrist.
Thus, the need for additional examinations will now be determined by a specific doctor based on the patient's medical data. According to the document, these measures were taken to improve the list of contraindications and to bring the requirements into compliance with the Law "On Weapons".
Context
The changes are being made to Resolution No. 237 of April 30, 2022, which approves the list of diseases that prevent weapon carrying. The new rules will enter into force 10 days after signing.
