Federal laws concerning budgets, customs regulations, credit monitoring, and the ratification of international treaties are to be considered by the Council after they have been adopted from the State Duma, where most legislation is introduced.
Undang-undang Federal mengenai anggaran, peraturan bea cukai, pengawasan kredit, dan ratifikasi perjanjian internasional juga harus dipertimbangkan oleh Dewan setelah undang-undang tersebut telah disahkan di Duma Negara.
