The problems of state registration of amusement parks in the Russia and the implementation of control (supervision) over the activities of their operators

Providing entertainment services to the public is an integral part of the general economic activity of entrepreneurship and business in the Russian Federation. The use of attractions for such purposes is a sought-after and profitable occupation, although it is fraught with high danger and risks. Since the early 2000s, the number of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities operating amusement rides has been growing in the Russian Federation, along with the growing number of consumers of such services, the vast majority of whom are incapacitated children. Every year, thousands of attractions of various types are operated throughout the Russian Federation, located outside and inside the premises, on water and land, having a mechanized and non-mechanized type of operation. The main problem is the legality of their work in terms of compliance by operators with all available safety requirements. Unfortunately, cases of various failures in the operation of attractions related to the negligence of those responsible for their safe operation and technical malfunctions are not uncommon, and have serious consequences for the life and health of entertaining visitors. The Government of the Russian Federation, realizing the importance of regulatory legal regulation of this area, has been developing a whole layer of legislation since 2016. Our research is designed to describe and identify the problems of two main areas of such regulation: state registration of attractions and control (supervision) over the activities of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities operating attractions. The main objective of the study is to make proposals on changing the current legislation governing the safe operation of attractions. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study offers the legislator ways to solve the accumulated regulatory problems related to the work of the State Technical Supervision bodies of the Russian Federation as a public authority exercising control (supervision) and state registration of attractions. Such proposals are unique in the scientific community and have not been described before by the authors of the research, since the regulatory sphere of public regulation of the safe operation of attractions is extremely young and requires further normative development.
