The President signed a law expanding the possibilities of irrigated land transformation

President Sadyr Zhaparov signed a law amending the moratorium on the transfer of irrigated arable land into other categories. According to the innovations, now the moratorium will not apply to the transfer of such lands, regardless of the form of ownership, if they are allocated for the construction of schools, hospitals, sports complexes, veterinary and phytosanitary laboratories.

Previously, the exception applied only to state or municipally owned land.

A law adopted by the Jogorku Kenesh on 12 December 2024 also exempts land intended for construction of water management facilities from the moratorium. These amendments are aimed at improving existing legislation and ensuring conditions for the development of social infrastructure and solving water supply problems.

The adopted amendments will make it possible to accelerate the construction of socially significant facilities and infrastructure in the regions, while ensuring the rational use of land resources. The new law will come into force after its official publication.
