Milli Majlis: Education of children of fallen sappers to be funded by state budget
Azerbaijan's parliament has passed a draft law in its first reading to support the families of fallen sappers.
As reported by Report, the document was reviewed during a plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
The amendments provide for the state budget to cover the education costs of children of sappers who died during demining activities in educational institutions across the country, regardless of ownership form (excluding additional education).
Additionally, it is proposed to reduce the taxable income of family members of fallen sappers by 400 manats per month.
The draft law aims to improve the social conditions of sappers' families and strengthen state support.
The provisions, which will come into effect on September 15, 2026, also apply to the children (up to 23 years of age) of sappers who died or passed away due to injuries sustained before the law's enactment.
The draft law has been adopted in its first reading.
