The article is focused on the analysis of the statutory legal acts of Altai Krai for physical training and sports from the standpoint of compliance with the rules of legislative technology. The authors note that there is no single abridgement of such rules, and this, in particular, is the cause of many technical defects in the legislation. Therefore, the position of those researchers who propose to pass a special act is supported, which would enshrine in law the proper requirements and rules of legislative technology. The study has considered the criteria often mentioned by researchers in the relevant literature.Some of them are: compliance with the distribution of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the subjects of the Russian Federation established by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, lack of excessive duplication of federal legislation, provision of consistency, completeness and detail of legal regulation, present norms regulating relations with reference to regional specificity.
