In 1994, the Charter of Tambov Oblast was adopted, becoming the basis of legislation in the region. The Charter was recognized as constitutional by the Constitutional Court of Russia in 1997.
In 1997, elections to the duma of the second convocation were held, with the number of deputies increased to 50. Only 46 deputies were elected, as the results in four constituencies were declared invalid as they had a turnout of less than 25%. Vladimir Karev was again re-elected as chairman. The duma of the second convocation adopted 241 laws and 1175 resolutions.
