The subject of the research in the article is operation in time of the regulatory act adopted in 2025 by the Russian Ministry of Health establishing qualifying features of harm to health. Comparative and systemic research methods were used in the analysis. The article considers the main changes entailed by the adoption of the new Procedure for Determining the Gravity of Harm to Human Health. This act, being the result of delegated rule-making, forms a regulatory unity with the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation establishing liability for bodily harm. The author concludes that it is necessary to extend the rules of operation of the criminal law in time to the new Procedure for Determining the Gravity of Harm to Human Health. For correct qualification of acts committed before the entry into force of the new features of harm to health (that is, before September 1, 2025), the direction of changes should be considered. In cases where the new features imply a lesser degree of gravity compared to previously established ones, the harm to health should be assessed in accordance with the Procedure adopted in 2025. The author also analyzes the problems that may arise in harmonization of sentences that have already entered into force with regulatory innovations
