Article 13 explained in plain English
This article deals with the Implementing Regulations of the Shomoos Security Law, and sets two things:
- The issuing authority: the Minister of Interior.
- The period: within 90 days of the date of the law's issuance.
Note that the period for issuing the regulations runs from the date the law is issued, whereas Article 14 provides that the law takes effect 90 days after the date it is published in the Official Gazette. The two periods have the same number of days but different starting points: the first from issuance, the second from publication.
The Implementing Regulations are the instrument that details how the law is applied. The text does not state the content of the regulations, so a person who needs the details of application should refer to them.
This article follows Article 12, which provides that private establishments bear no financial costs for joining Shomoos.
Anyone who needs to know what the regulations provide regarding their activity can refer to them or consult a lawyer who specializes in administrative cases and commercial regulations.
