Important Draft Laws: Issue 55
Overview of Recent Draft Laws
Between October 13 and 26, the Verkhovna Rada registered 39 draft laws. These included two presidential bills concerning the extension of martial law and mobilization, three from the government, and thirty-four introduced by members of parliament.
Data Access Notifications
If enacted, these laws will require that Ukrainians be automatically notified of every request to access their personal data in state registers.
Anti-Bullying Measures
The period during which participants in the educational process—such as students, teachers, and scholars—can be held liable for bullying will be extended from three months to one year.
Funding for Kyiv's Defense
One bill proposes returning 10% of the corporate income tax currently credited to the state budget back to Kyiv. These funds are intended to protect critical infrastructure and strengthen the capital’s air defense.
Regulation of Tobacco-Free Nicotine Products
Six draft laws address the circulation of tobacco-free nicotine products, including pouches and sachets. Proposals vary from setting nicotine content limits to a complete ban on their sale.
National Moment of Silence
Another initiative aims to establish a daily nationwide moment of silence for the fallen. This would involve a clear procedure for observance, public notifications through media, and the use of civil alert systems.
"A moment of silence for the fallen will become a daily nationwide ritual, with straightforward observance and public notifications."
These draft laws reflect the government’s focus on data privacy, educational environment safety, public health, and national commemoration.
