Public order act to replace local government ordinances

The new Public Order Act strives to promote order and security in public places. As of 1 October 2003, the public order ordinance will be the same throughout the country. Previously, no Public Order Act was in force in Finland. A wide variety of local government ordinances were observed.

The Public Order Act applies to places designated for public use, regardless of the ownership. Such places are streets and roads, pavements, market squares, parks, beaches, sports fields, cemeteries, public buildings, means of public transport, government offices, other office premises and restaurants.
