Abstract: In January 2015 a group of the State Duma deputies introduced the draft federal law No. 703192-6 'The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses. General Part'. Introduction of the General Part of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences drew attention of many researchers and encouraged lively discussion regarding alternative choices of modernization of the administrative tort legislation in the Russian Federation. In the process of writing this article the author has used the following research methods: hermeneutical method, systems method, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative law method and other methods that are usually used in legal research. Suggestions have been made on the methodology and organization of legislative activities for the implementation of this legislative initiative. The researcher concludes that there is a certain need to create and simultaneously work on the preparation of the law in three interdepartmental work teams as well as to arrange for a public discussion of the draft law on the Internet.
