The procedure for issuing vehicle suspension and detention will change: what has changed
The President has signed a law amending two measures for securing proceedings in cases of administrative offenses — the removal from driving a vehicle and the detention of a vehicle. The document was adopted by the State Duma on May 13 and approved by the Federation Council on May 20.
Removal from driving (Article 27.12)
According to the new version of part 3 of Article 27.12, the record of removal from driving a vehicle can be made in one of the following documents:
- protocol for referral for medical examination;
- protocol for the detention of a vehicle;
- protocol on an administrative offense;
- ruling on the initiation of an administrative offense case;
- resolution on the administrative offense case.
A copy of the removal protocol is handed to the individual.
The new part 3¹ of Article 27.12 establishes that a separate protocol is drawn up for referral for medical examination for intoxication. A copy is also handed to the individual.
Part 7 of Article 27.12 has been supplemented: a video recording is attached not only to the protocol but also to the ruling on the initiation of the case or to the resolution on the case.
Detention of a vehicle (Article 27.13)
The new version of part 3 of Article 27.13 provides that the record of the detention of a vehicle (indicating the date, time, place, grounds, details of the official, information about the vehicle, and the individual) can be made:
- in the protocol on an administrative offense;
- or in the ruling on the initiation of the case;
- or in the resolution on the case (in the absence of such information in these documents).
The record of detention has been added with a mandatory indication: the name of the authority (institution, organization), position, surname, first name, and patronymic (if available) of the person who will execute the decision on detention — that is, the driver of the tow truck or an employee of the organization carrying out the relocation.
A key procedural provision is that officials who applied the detention must be present at the site of the vehicle's detention until the tow truck (the vehicle intended for relocation to a specialized parking lot) begins to move.

A federal law has been published that amends articles 27.12 and 27.13 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation. Inspectors are now required to be present at the scene before the tow truck begins to move, and the direction for a medical examination must be documented in a separate protocol.
