The bill proposes amendments and additions to the Water Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Environmental Code, the Land Code, the laws "On State Property" and "On energy saving and energy efficiency."

In particular, the Land Code will include a regulation on the need of removal existing utilities beyond the allotted area at drawing up of an act of land choosing.
