Parliament has today supported a bill that will increase penalties for not updating personal data and not appearing on the TCC.
The Verkhovna Rada on Thursday, May 9, adopted in the second reading the bill No. 10379 on strengthening accountability for military offenses. Now it will go to President Vladimir Zelensky for signature.
This document, in particular, provides for a several-fold increase in fines for evaders. At the same time, the main innovation of the bill is that fines can be issued in absentia and accounts can be blocked.
Why should they be fined?
The document adopted today is expected to work in conjunction with the new mobilization law, which will take effect on May 18.
Thus, they will be fined if the person liable for military service does not directly update his data in the TCC, does not change it in electronic registers, does not appear when summoned, or otherwise violates the rules of mobilization. We remind you that men must do all this before July 18, 2024.
What values are we talking about?
Currently, men are brought to administrative responsibility for violating military registration rules. Fines for evaders range from fifty (850 hryvnias) to one hundred (1,700 hryvnias) tax-free minimum income of citizens.
Today, Bill No. 10379 provides for a substantial increase in fines and introduces three forms of punishment – violation, repeated violation and violation during martial law.
Accordingly, the fines under Art. 210 related to military records are:
-
in peacetime – from 3400 to 5100 hryvnias;
-
during the war (or repeated violations) – from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias.
According to Art. 210-1, for violation of the peacetime defense and mobilization law:
-
for citizens – from 5100 to 8500 hryvnias;
-
for officials and legal entities – from 17,000 to 34,000 hryvnias.
For the prevention of wartime mobilization:
-
for citizens – from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias;
-
for officials and legal entities – from 34,000 to 59,000 hryvnias.
so, for failure to appear at the TCC, a minimum fine of 17,000 hryvnia will be imposed initiallyA enterprises that ignore the need to maintain military records of employees will be fined in the amount of 34,000 hryvnias.
Remember that Major fines will not apply if TCC employees have the opportunity to obtain personal data from electronic state registers.
The fines will take effect the day after the promulgation of Law No. 10379, where it must be signed by the president.
Major changes
The main change of the bill is that fines can be issued in absentia, that is, without the presence of the violator and make a protocol. However, for this, the TCC must have documents proving that the person liable for military service received a call from the military registration and enlistment office and ignored it. What exactly these documents are not specified in the document.
The Judicial Legal Newspaper believes that this will happen by analogy with the law on mobilization, that is, it is enough to put a note in the postal message about the impossibility of delivering a summons or demand to the registered address.
In this regard, the lawyer Nikolai Maksimov believes that “logically,” the TCC should go to court to have a resolution to bring the person to administrative responsibility, and only then the executors receive it. According to him, the decision to hold a person accountable without a court decision could cause corruption risks “due to the fact that the leaders of the TCC will have power.”
Blocking accounts
The judicial and legal press also notes that the bill adopted today will work together with another law (No. 10062) on the digitalization of military records, which began in April. The latest document allows the collection of a wide range of personal data related to a person automatically in an “electronic file” in the Register of Persons liable for Military Service Amulet.
Especially now Amulet automatically receives information from the State Tax Service registry.
Because of this, as the publication noted, if a person works in a certain business, is officially employed and is not registered in the military or ignores subpoenas, then the system will be able to quickly identify him. If such a person does not respond to the call of the TCC, he can be fined afterwards, added to the register of debtors, and in case of failure to pay the fine, his accounts can be blocked.
