Until 26 January 2024, Turiisk was designated [urban-type settlement](/source/urban-type_settlement). On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Turiisk became a rural settlement.<ref name="glavnoe">{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |language=ru| date=1 January 2024}}</ref>
