The MinRegion has presented the line parliament Committee new wordings of Laws On Local Self-Government in Ukraine and On Local State Administrations.

The necessity of the new laws, regulating the activity of the executive authorities’ local bodies and local self-government bodies of all levels, is dictated by the local self-government and territorial power organization reform.

According to the Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine Vyacheslav Nehoda, the draft standards contain a lot of novelties. So, for instance, the current law On Local Self-Government in Ukraine came into force 23 years ago and since then it has been amended more than 130 times. It means that the law is out of date and the reformed system of the local self-government needs an up-to-date legislative provision.
