Abstract

The paper dwells on the scope and limits of municipal legal regulation. By the scope the author understands the area of potential legal relationship which is determined by federal laws and laws of the constituent units of the Russian Federation as well as by municipal charters, taking into account specific features of each municipality. The limits are primarily determined by the federal law and, therefore, it is more relevant to talk about the relationship between the federal and municipal legal regulations. The limits of local law-making are determined by the municipal charter and the act of the representative body, taking into account historical and other local traditions. Special attention is paid to the limits of the local legal regulation and its framework, as defined by the law. Thus, the author proposes extending the limits of legal regulation in the constituent units of the Russian Federation.
