## What Article 196⁶ of the Administrative Offences Code covers

Article 196⁶ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes administrative liability for failing to report a conclusion on a psychiatric disorder diagnosed in respect of a person liable for military service. The norm is addressed to medical institutions: where an institution has issued such a conclusion and has not notified the corresponding competent authority within the established period, this constitutes an administrative offence and is punished by a fine.

The provision serves the protection of state interests connected with military service: information about the health status of a person liable for military service must reach the competent authorities in due time. The subject of the offence is precisely the party on whom the duty of notification is imposed — that is, the corresponding medical institution.

### Who is liable under this article?

A medical institution that has issued a conclusion on a psychiatric disorder of a person liable for military service and has failed to notify the corresponding competent authority within 10 calendar days of issuing the conclusion.

### What is the fine?

For a first breach — 100 GEL. If the breach is repeated within 1 year of the imposition of the administrative penalty — 300 GEL.

### How is the notification period counted?

As 10 calendar days from the day the conclusion is issued, meaning that calendar days are counted. A breach of the period is established by comparing the dates of the conclusion and of the notification.

### What is the condition for repetition?

The second breach must occur within one year of the imposition of the administrative penalty — only then does the 300 GEL fine under the second part apply.
