Article 16 explained in plain English
This article regulates the issuing of the Implementing Regulations of the Law, which is the instrument to which many articles refer for setting details.
- Who issues them: the Minister of Interior.
- The deadline: within 90 days of the date the Law is published in the Official Gazette.
- The date they apply from: from the date the Law itself takes effect.
The importance of the Regulations is that the Law left them many practical matters, including: the licensing conditions and documents and the conditions of the fee (Article 3), the manner of supervision (Article 7), the specifications of the armored vehicles (Article 12), and the forms of licenses, cards, uniforms, emblems and colors (Article 13).
Article 17 provides that the Law takes effect 90 days after its publication, so if the Regulations are issued within the stated deadline, they and the Law can begin to apply together. The article is procedural and addresses the Ministry mainly; it does not create direct rights or obligations for individuals, but knowing the Regulations is essential for every body practicing the activity because they set the details of its obligations.
