Art. 74(2), read in full, fines distributing to children information that causes harm to their health or development and is prohibited for distribution among children, where the conduct does not amount to a criminal offense, at 20 calculation indicators for a natural person and 100 for a legal person.
Art. 74(3) raises that fine to 50 and 250 calculation indicators, respectively, where the same conduct is carried out using mass media or an information-telecommunications network, including the Internet. Contemporaneous press coverage of the amending law's signing reported the resulting fines as 2,000 som for a natural person and 10,000 som for a legal person, rising to 25,000 som for a legal person where the information was published in mass media or on the Internet.
