Members of the Committee considered the draft Law "On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine on Strengthening the Liability for Illegal Eviction from Residence".
The draft law No. 4333 aims to improve legislation in the field of combating illegal eviction from residence. The draft law provides for amendments to Article 162 (Violation of the inviolability of the home) of the Criminal Code: the punishment is a fine (10,000 – 25,000 times the nontaxable minimum income of citizens) or deprivation of liberty for a term of 3 to 8 years.
During the preparation of the bill for the second reading, proposals were taken into account, which revised and reduced the limits of the fine, as well as systematically agreed on the size of sanctions under Article 162 of the Criminal Code.
Based on the results of the consideration, the Committee decided to recommend to the Verkhovna Rada to adopt in the second reading and in general the draft law "On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine on Strengthening the Liability for Illegal Eviction from Residence".
