PROCEEDINGS IN CASES OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES, PROVIDED BY ART. 44-3 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE "VIOLATION OF THE RULES REGARDING THE QUARANTINE OF PEOPLE"

Abstract

The scientific article is devoted to the peculiarities of proceedings in cases of administra-tive misconduct in violation of the rules of quarantine of people. The specifics of the activities of law enforcement and other executive bodies to identify such offenses and bring perpetrators to administrative responsibility remain unexplored. The list of authorities and officials author-ized to draw up protocols for committing administrative offenses in quarantine rules viola-tions have been established. Authorities have been identified that have the right to decide on cases of such administrative offenses. It is concluded that the norms of the legislation on ad-ministrative offenses and the sectoral legislation that defines the public authorities' powers are often inconsistent. The Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses authorizes certain author-ities to draw up protocols on administrative misdemeanors, which consist in violating the rules of quarantine of people. At the same time, the sectoral legislation does not define the officials of these bodies who have the right to draw up such protocols. Several recommendations have been proposed to improve the legislation governing pro-ceedings on administrative offenses in the field of violation of quarantine rules. In particular, the National Police should be given the right to draw up reports on administrative offenses in the event of a person appearing in a public place without personal protective equipment. It is necessary to identify specific officials of health authorities who will have the right to draw up reports on administrative offenses in the field of violation of quarantine rules. The Law of Ukraine On Local Self-Government should establish the rights of specific officials to draw up reports on such administrative offenses. Each city or village council should adopt a separate regulation on the procedure for reviewing protocols on administrative offenses. The powers of the executive committees of local councils to consider cases of administrative misconduct that violate the rules of quarantine of people should be transferred to the administrative com-missions formed of specialists in the field of law.
