The bill (Reg. No. 5266) specifies
the status of a volunteer and the volunteer organization, their rights and
obligations, principles, types, and areas of activity, financial sources, etc.
Also, the document envisages tools of interaction between the volunteer
movement participants, as well as the area of the government interference. The
bill allows using the potential of Ukrainian volunteers more actively and
fully. Furthermore, the volunteers will be encouraged for active work,
education, and training.
Adjusting
the bill for the second reading, the Committee received more than 70
amendments, most of which were taken into consideration.
Under the
bill adjusted for the second reading, "a volunteer organization is a non-profitable
legal entity that received its volunteer status in line with this Law." The
status of a volunteer organization is conferred by the central executive
authority body in the sphere of volunteer activity within five days since the
receipt of a written appeal on behalf of the legal entity.
