The bill (Reg. No. 9075) excludes clause 365 from the Criminal Code
which introduces responsibility for exceeding authority or abuse of authority,
and specifies provisions of part 1 of clause 365-1 which introduces
responsibility for "exceeding authority by an official of legal entity of private
law irrespective of organizational-legal form" and clause 365-2 which introduces
responsibility for "exceeding authority by the individuals providing public
services."
Under the bill, exceeding authority which was
conferred on the official by the respective laws of Ukraine shall be recognized
as criminally liable. Thus, reference to clause 365 of the Criminal Code of
Ukraine is excluded from parts 1, 3 and 5 of the 112 of the Code of Criminal Procedure
of Ukraine.
