The Verkhovna Rada website has posted a response to criticism from MPs regarding the fact that the text of draft law 8371, which is intended to effectively ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, has not yet been published on the parliament's official website.
The statement indicates that the draft law is published on the parliament's website for the second reading after it undergoes legal expertise. The final version of the comparative table for consideration by the parliament in the second reading is prepared by the relevant committee, after which it is passed to the Main Legal Department of the Verkhovna Rada apparatus, which conducts such expertise.
"The final version of the comparative table for draft law No. 8371, totaling 917 pages for legal expertise, was provided to the Main Legal Department by the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy on May 1, 2024, at 16:30," the statement notes.
As of May 3, the comparative table for the specified draft law is being considered by the Main Legal Department, after which it will be published on the Verkhovna Rada website.
As the UOJ reported, a source from the "Servant of the People" explained why the Verkhovna Rada is not in a hurry to adopt draft law 8371.
