The Bill (Reg.№3251) envisages exclusion from the article 80 the first part according to which the people's Deputies are provided.

 

The article 105 of the Constitution of Ukraine is also expected to be excluded according to which the right on immunity possesses the President of Ukraine. The same concerns the part two and three that impalement the responsibility for the encroachment upon the President´s dignity.

 

Also it is envisaged that the President of Ukraine is not to be detained or arrested before the Verkhovna Rada agreement until the court judgment concerning him comes into force.

 

Consequently the immunity rates are implemented at the same level as for the President of Ukraine and for the People´s Deputy of Ukraine. Suggested part three of the article 8 and part two of the article 105 represents the norm of the part three of the article 126 of the Constitution of Ukraine that introduce the rates of the judgment immunity.
