Abstract. Adopted on 15April 1998 Federal law No 66-FZ «On the horticultural, gardening and dacha noncommercial associations of citizens», despite numerous amendments and additions, in recent years began to be criticized, that required significant changes in the content of the law. During the public hearings organized by the Public chamber of the Russian Federation and other public organizations, as well as scientific conferences and «round tables» with participation of deputies at the federal level and in constituent entities of the Russian Federation developed the draft of the new legislation, which was passed by the State Duma on 20 June 2017 and approved by the Federation Council on 25 July 2017 and signed by the President of the Russian Federation of 29 July 2017 as the Federal law No 217-FZ «On the conduct of the citizens of horticulture for their own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation». In connection with the adoption of this law the Federal law No 66-FZ of 15 April 1998 «On the horticultural, gardening and dacha non-commercial associations of citizens» has been repealed. Completely Federal law No 217-FZ of 29 July 2017 will come into force from 1 January 2019. The present article sets out a brief analysis of the content of the norms of the new Federal law, as well as of amendments and additions to other federal laws directly and indirectly regulating relations in the field of horticulture.
