ON THE CONTENT OF THE CONCEPTS “STATE SERVICE” AND "STATE FUNCTION" IN THE ACTIVITY OF EXECUTIVE BODIES

Abstract

Rendering of the state services is one of the most important activities of
modern state. Meanwhile, in practice the mixture of the concepts "state function",
"state service", "control and supervision function" is observed. In the article
the analysis of legislative consolidation of the concepts, a ratio of the called
categories is carried out and measures for current legislation enhancement in the
sphere of rendering the state services are offered.
It is necessary to clearly define the terms in the regulations, and to correct
the lists of public services, excluding licensing, state registration and granting of
permissions. These procedures should be attributed to the oversight functions of
the executive authorities. In addition, it is proposed to clarify the definition of
"state service". The law defines the following signs of state services: it is the activity
of the authorities to carry out their functions within the prescribed term;
the subjects are the state bodies of executive power, bodies of local selfgovernment,
state non-budgetary funds; declarative implementation services. It
is suggested to add to the statutory definition of "state service" the applicant's
request for voluntary service and positive effects as a result of its rendering.
