Violators of people of determinations’ rights will be fined with a maximum of AED100,000
There is a new committee called the ‘Higher Committee to Protect the Rights of People of Determination’ which will represent people of determination. It will supervise all their affairs in Dubai and implement policies, plans, and initiatives aimed to protect their rights. They’re also tasked with proposing legislations that’ll protect their rights and integrate them into society.
The Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai is developing a system to allow people of determination and their guardians to report any violations or their rights. The Authority will also issue identification cards so they can easily access facilities and services allocated to them.
Violators of the new law will be subject to fines listed in the Executive Regulations and those who repeat the offence within a year, will face double the fines with a maximum of AED100,000
