New law on mobilization: legal advice
Changes to the law on mobilization
The Law of Ukraine “On amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine on certain issues of military service, mobilization and military registration” significantly transforms the current legislation on mobilization. Thus, he makes changes to 16 regulatory legal acts related to this area. Lawyers of the Prikhodko & Partners law office work in the field of military law as one of the basic areas of their specialization. This area of law is the focus of our practice, so we know how to help clients with a variety of requests. Our team regularly monitors legislative changes and followed this legal act even at the draft stage.
What key changes does this Law introduce for those liable for military service?
What key changes does this Law introduce for those liable for military service?So, among the changes, the following should be noted:
- Article 2832 is introduced into the norms of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. It enshrines a legal norm restricting citizens liable for military service in the right to drive a vehicle if they evade fulfillment of duties related to military registration.
- Article 22 of the Law of Ukraine “On mobilization preparation and mobilization” is being changed. Now, within 60 days from the date of adoption of the mentioned law, the person liable for military service will be forced to clarify his data in the TCC and SP. This can also be done through the Central Administrative Service. To date, the electronic account with this option does not work.
- Part 6 of Article 22 of the same Law makes it obligatory for every man from 18 to 60 years of age to have a military registration document with him. Not only representatives of the TCC and SP, but also police officers and representatives of the State Tax Service will have the right to check it.
- During the document check, a representative of the TCC and SP or a police officer will record the process in a photo or video.
- Also, Article 27 is added to the mentioned Law, which establishes sanctions against citizens of Ukraine who violate and fail to fulfill military registration obligations. The concept of “requirement” was introduced. Failure to comply will be grounds for restricting the person liable for military service in driving transport.
Separately, it is necessary to consider what changes have been added to the grounds for deferment from mobilization.
