A set of official decisions and law-enforcement updates announced in Uzbekistan and Tashkent has drawn public attention, covering a possible new approach to setting alimony, revised rules for towing vehicles to impound lots, ticketless travel statistics on city buses, plans to supply some schools with bicycles, and the detention of three people who allegedly prepared a raid on a learning center. The developments concern social protection, urban transport, road enforcement, education and sports infrastructure, and public safety, making them relevant to a broad audience.
Key Takeaways: A draft presidential decree on fairer alimony based on living costs is to be prepared by June 2027, but no exact amount or formula has yet been disclosed. Tashkent’s new vehicle evacuation rules take effect on December 24, 2026, while authorities recorded 170,937 administrative protocols for fare evasion from October 2025 to November 10, 2026. Some schools are due to receive bicycles in 2027–2028, and three individuals have been detained over alleged preparations for a raid on a learning center.
The alimony issue is being considered under a program of measures for implementing national programs in 2027–2031. Under the current procedure, alimony is mainly calculated as a percentage of the payer’s salary and other income, as set out in Article 99 of the Family Code. The proposed approach is intended to create a fairer mechanism that takes into account the child’s interests, real living expenses and the payer’s capacity, although specific parameters still need to be worked out at the next stage.
A Cabinet of Ministers resolution has improved the procedure for evacuating, placing and storing vehicles detained in Tashkent for violations of legislative acts. Under the new rules, if a driver arrives before the vehicle is loaded onto a tow truck and removes the violation, the vehicle will not be taken to the impound lot. If the car has been partially or fully loaded onto the tow truck, however, evacuation will not be stopped even if the driver arrives. Storage time is counted from the moment the vehicle is placed on the tow truck, fees are charged for full days actually stored, and vehicles are returned via QR code.
According to the Tashkent city transport department, a total of 170,937 administrative protocols were drawn up for ticketless travel on the capital’s buses from October 2025 to November 10, 2026. Among those held liable, 461 people were penalized 5–9 times and 9 people 10 or more times. Under Part 5 of Article 144 of the Administrative Responsibility Code, riding without a ticket on a city or suburban bus carries a fine of one-tenth of the base calculation unit — 44,000 soum. Under a presidential decree dated November 11, a “Tashkent experience” pilot will begin in March 2027; general education schools with the necessary infrastructure will be supplied with bicycles in stages in 2027–2028 and will cooperate with cycling coaches. The work will be carried out by the Tashkent city hokimiyat using local budget funds.
In the security update, officers of the Tashkent city Main Internal Affairs Directorate and the State Security Service detained three individuals who had allegedly prepared a raid on one of the capital’s learning centers. Officials have not yet released further details, and investigative and verification measures are expected to continue. Overall, the decisions and statistics indicate that Tashkent is preparing practical steps to further regulate legal order, public safety and daily life for citizens.
