    Statute adopted

Valmistellaan saariston kehittämisen edistämisestä annetun lain (saaristolain) uudistus. Saaristolain päivittämistarpeet liittyvät sekä lain rakenteeseen että lain sisältöön. Voimassa oleva saaristolaki on vuodelta 1981, eikä lakia ole systemaattisesti päivitetty voimaantulon jälkeen. Lainuudistustyön pohjana toimii MMM:n johdolla vuosina 2022‒2023 laadittu Arvio saaristolain päivittämistarpeesta (Maa- ja metsätalousministeriön julkaisuja 2023:14). Saaristolaki uudistettaisiin vastaamaan muuttunutta toimintaympäristöä. Lain on tarkoitus tulla voimaan vuonna 2027.

Project status

25.1.2024 Työryhmä valmistelee esitysluonnoksen

Working group

Goals and results

Valmistellaan hallituksen esitys saaristolain uudistamiseksi.

Starting points

Saaristolaki on annettu vuonna 1981, eikä sitä ole systemaattisesti päivitetty sen jälkeen. Saaristo toimintaympäristönä sekä myös muu lainsäädäntö on muuttunut viimeisen neljänkymmenen vuoden aikana.

Saatetaan sääntely ajan tasalle ja huomioidaan muutokset toimintaympäristössä.

Hankkeen toteuttamiseksi on asetettu työryhmä valmistelemaan saaristolain päivittämistä. Lisäksi maa- ja metsätalousministeriö on asettanut työryhmän tueksi sihteeristön. Työryhmän toimikausi on 25.1.2024 – 31.12.2026.
