Constitutional councils are a new institution of constitutional supervision, established in four republics of the Russian Federation as an alternative to the abolished constitutional courts for the legal protection of their constitutions. Federal law has only recognized the permissibility of establishing these bodies within parliaments, granting the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation the ability to independently determine the legal status of these bodies. This article analyzes amendments to the legislation of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan regarding these councils. One of these amendments is the granting of the constitutional councils the authority to conduct monitoring normative control. The authors discuss the reasons and timeliness of this institution, its legal basis, content and implementation procedures in relation to jurisdictional normative control, and demonstrate the specifics of monitoring normative control conducted by the Constitutional Council of Yakutia in the context of its annual reports on the state and development of constitutional legislation in the Republic. Other legislative changes are also examined that clarify the understanding of constitutional councils as fully independent, permanent state bodies and enhance the legal significance of their decisions. It is noted that the legal regulation under consideration is ultimately aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of the activities of the aforementioned councils, the unification of key elements of their status, and their decision-making in accordance with federal constitutional values.
