The bill (Reg. No. 2038) suggests the possibility for convicted persons, who acquired the right to retire and serve a sentence, to use their right on their pensions. The bill suggests also to ensure the possibility to apply for pension to the Pension fund through a personal representative.

Members of the Committee supported the bill. Its adoption will allow to eliminate the gap in legislation regarding the issue of pensions to the persons who serve a sentence.
