Abstract: The issues of the essence of administrative and legal regimes of state control and supervision are considered. The concept of the regime of state control and supervision is defined. The characteristics of administrative and legal regimes of state control and supervision are considered. A list of state control and supervision regimes is provided. The essence of administrative and legal regimes of state control and supervision is revealed through the following elements: objectives of the establishment and implementation of regimes; regulatory legal framework; legal status of subjects; means of ensuring; consequences (sanctions) violations of regime rules; principles of state control and supervision regimes. In the author's opinion, the main principle of state control and supervision regimes is considered – the principle of balance in the activities of control and supervisory authorities in achieving the goals of state control and supervision. The methodological basis was provided by general scientific (analysis, synthesis) and special (formal-legal, comparative-legal) methods of cognition. As a result of the conducted research in the field of state control (supervision) through the application of the necessary and sufficient regime of state control (supervision), the following conclusions can be drawn. The implementation of administrative and legal regimes of state control and supervision makes it possible to avoid continuous inspections as an ineffective model of control and supervisory activities. The result of the establishment and implementation of the necessary and sufficient administrative and legal regime of state control and supervision is the establishment of a balance in the activities of control and supervisory authorities in achieving the goals of state control and supervision. State control (supervision) regimes make it possible to ensure optimal administrative pressure on business entities.
