Draft bill #11074 of March 11, 2024
Status: sent for review to the Committee on Legal Policy
Cosponsors: a group of 3 MPs from the factions Batkivshchyna, European Solidarity, and Servant of the People with Ivan Krulko as the first signatory
Who is affected: political parties and the National Agency on Corruption Prevention
Summary: political parties will not be held accountable for submitting incomplete information about the property, income, expenses, and financial obligations to the NACP, if such information cannot be obtained from local party organizations located in areas of military hostilities or temporarily occupied territories.
What is right: the proposed update is logical, since political parties, like other legal entities, cannot maintain proper paperwork and reporting in areas of active military hostilities. Also, the required data could be lost in temporarily occupied territories.
Background information: on December 26, 2023, the law came into effect on the renewal of party reporting on property, income, expenses, and financial obligations, which had been abolished with the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
