MPs Want To Abolish Notices Of Significant Changes In The Property Status

A draft law aimed at abolishing public officials' obligation to e-declare significant changes in their property status was registered in the Verkhovna Rada. It was initiated by MP Serhii Shahov from the party Volya Narodu. 

In case this draft law is adopted, declarants will no longer have to submit into the e-declaration registry information on their income or purchase of property worth more than 50 living wages. To date, a declarant reports changes in property status that exceed 88,000 UAH (around 3,250 USD). Moreover, the bill suggests releasing from administrative responsibility people who fail to report property status changes. More details.
