According to the updated clause 8 of Section II of the regulation, the process of awarding the title of "Honorary Citizen of the City of Osh" will now include a mandatory public discussion of the candidate in the mass media for at least 15 calendar days after their nomination. Only after this will the issue of awarding the title be considered at a session of the city council.
Previously, the procedure was different: the session could consider awarding the title only two months after the publication of information about the candidate.
Additionally, the Osh City Council instructed the mayor's commission to develop specific criteria for evaluating candidates for this honorary title.
The resolution comes into effect upon its official publication.
