Article 62 explained in plain English
This article governs the issuance of the Regulations that supplement the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, and contains three clear provisions:
- Issuing body: The Board of Directors issues the Regulations; no other body does.
- Publication: The Regulations are published in the Official Gazette, so that they are public and available to everyone.
- Start of effect: The Regulations take effect from the date the Law itself takes effect, meaning the Law and its Regulations apply together from the same date.
This article works together with Article 63, which provides that the Law is published in the Official Gazette and takes effect from the day after the date of its issuance. The date the Law takes effect is therefore also the date the Regulations take effect.
This article does not state the content or details of the Regulations. It only determines who issues them, their publication and when they take effect. Anyone who needs to know what the Regulations provide on a particular matter can refer to their text as published in the Official Gazette, or consult a lawyer who specializes in social insurance law.
