Hi Tim and all, Just to clarify, I mentioned earlier that to become law document should be signed by the Chairman of Parlament (Verkhovna Rada) and then by the President. You are right, with the latest updates (update by 21.08.2024) is that the document was routed to the Chairman for signature and the signed document was returned, current status is "routed to the President for signature". The full text of the final version (document signed by the Chairman of Verkhovna Rada) is here: https://itd.rada.gov.ua/billInfo/Bills/pubFile/2496084, link mentioned by Tim is to the version from 2020 (but the actual changes are cosmetic, like "draft of the bill" changed to "bill"). Document [2] was rejected (updated from the same day, 21.08.2024). BR/Yurii On Mon, Aug 26, 2024 at 2:53 AM Tim Parenti <tim@timtimeonline.com> wrote:

These pages on the Verkhovna Rada's website both have status updates dated Wednesday 21 August 2024:
The main draft law [1], which abolishes seasonal time changes in Article 5, §2, was submitted to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada for signature, was returned signed, and has been sent to the President for signature. Per Article 10, §1, once signed, "the law enters into force three months after its official promulgation." Full PDF text (in Ukrainian) is linked from the page and available from https://itd.rada.gov.ua/billInfo/Bills/pubFile/319990
The page for the counterproposal [2] to keep the status quo of seasonal time changes now says that "the draft was not accepted".
