Both chambers of Russia’s parliament approved legislative amendments prohibiting State Duma and Federation Council members from missing parliamentary sessions without cause. Currently, only 10 to 15 percent of the Duma members are normally present at sessions, with each deputy casting votes on behalf of absent colleagues. The new law does not impose any sanctions for absenteeism.
