The Concept and Essence of Municipal Procedures

In the paper, based on the analysis of legislation and municipal legal acts, the author defines the concept of «municipal procedure» and identifies the main features of municipal procedures that distinguish them from other socially significant procedures, provides their characteristics and elucidates the idea of the need for harmonization of substantive and procedural municipal legal norms. The paper justifies classification of municipal procedures based on target and subject criteria in order to provide a more in-depth study of the purpose and content of municipal procedures and facilitate their practical application. The author justifies that the multiplicity of municipal procedures having their own subject of regulation and subjects of their application allows us to put forward for research the issue of their unification and structuring into municipal procedural law as a sub-branch of municipal law of the Russian Federation. The author highlights that after completion of the ongoing reform of the legislation on local self-government in the context of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, conditions will be created for the formation of this sub-branch in the system of municipal law of the Russian Federation.
