Zelensky submitted to the Rada a bill on the return of declaration for SBU employees

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a bill that provides for the restoration of mandatory declarations for employees of the Security Service of Ukraine. The document is designated as urgent.

Bill No. 16220 was registered on November 9, 2026. The document provides for amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption” regarding the features of declarations by certain categories of security forces servicemen and access to declarations during martial law.

What the bill provides for

The initiative is aimed at restoring the financial declaration mechanism for employees of the Security Service of Ukraine.

In particular, the bill concerns the features of submitting declarations by certain categories of security forces servicemen, as well as regulating access to relevant information during martial law.

The specific conditions for declarations and the procedure for accessing information will be determined by the provisions of the bill after its consideration by the parliament.

The document will be considered urgently

The President defined the legislative initiative as urgent.

The draft law has already been submitted for consideration by the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada.

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on the preparation of legislative amendments to return the declaration requirement for all SBU employees and called on the people’s deputies to adopt the appropriate decision as soon as possible.

At the same time, registration of the draft law does not mean its entry into force. To introduce new rules, the document must undergo the procedure for consideration and approval provided for by law.
