In 2019, a working group was established to produce a more heraldic replacement to the old design, which did not comply with the regulations of the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation. According to local heraldist Yevgeny Gruzdov, the new design was based on "the existing coat of arms, we do not create a new coat of arms, this is fundamentally important. We just bring it into line with federal heraldic requirements". [4]

After consultation, it was approved on April 23, 2020 by the Legislative Assembly and brought into law by Governor Alexander Burkov on April 29. The old arms can remain in use until January 1, 2030.
