Draft bill #11305 of May 29, 2024
Cosponsors: 13 MPs from the European Solidarity faction with Volodymyr Ariev as the first signatory
Status: sent for review to the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence
Who is affected: persons subject to military service, reservists, citizens of Ukraine removed from military registration, men with special ranks (class ranks) serving in the National Police of Ukraine, State Bureau of Investigations, Court Security Service, Bureau of Economic Security, State Emergency Service, State Criminal-Executive Service, National Anti-Corruption Bureau, prosecution, State Tax Service, and State Customs Service
Summary:
the bill proposes to extend the grace period allocated for updating military registration data at recruitment centers to 150 days for the following people:
- men with special ranks (class ranks) serving in the National Police, SBI, Court Security Service, BES, State Emergency Service, NABU, State Criminal-Executive Service, prosecution, State Tax Service, and State Customs Service
- citizens of Ukraine removed from military registration due to leaving Ukraine for more than three months
- citizens of Ukraine who have military registration
- men aged 18 to 60 with special ranks (class ranks) who were discharged from service, including those retired from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, NABU, National Police, SBI, BES, civil protection agencies and units, State Criminal-Executive Service, Court Security Service, prosecution, State Tax Service, and State Customs Service.
What is wrong: currently, the mobilization process is challenging, and the proposed extension for updating military registration data will further delay this process.
Alternative solution: to monitor the situation with data updates and revisit this issue in a month if queues at recruitment centers become critical.
How to help the legislator:
proposals concerning the draft bill can be sent to the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence.
