Alimenters will be have to work

The Supreme Council considered amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, authored by Deputy Alexander Shcherba. According to him, numerous appeals from voters were the basis for drafting the law-in-draft.

There is no norm in the current legislation, obliging people to work in such a situation. It is proposed to oblige debtors who cannot find a job in their specialty, to work according to the vacancies offered by the employment centers. Thus, these persons will be able to pay back the maintenance debt at a rate of 50%.

The law-in-draft proposes to consider the refusal of citizens in respect of whom enforcement proceedings have been instituted, offered by the employment center as a reason to be dismissed as unemployed and brought to criminal liability.

Earlier, the law-in-draft was supported by the deputies of the Committee on Legislation. As the head Galina Antyufeeva noted, a large number of such appeals also came to the profile committee, so the legislative initiative is correct and timely.

The deputy corps adopted this law-in-draft in the first reading.
