28 May 2025 11:25
The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a draft law that will strengthen the protection of the rights of drivers with disabilities, including female and male veterans. This is reported by the Government portal, "Komersant Ukrainian" informs
The bill in question is the draft law “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on the Use of Benefits Provided to Drivers with Disabilities” initiated by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
The document provides for the creation of a single identification mark “Driver with a disability” with a QR code confirming the presence of a disability.
This will allow for more effective control over who uses preferential parking spaces. Currently, these spaces are often illegally occupied by those who are not entitled to them.
The draft law also proposes to amend the Law “On the Fundamentals of Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine” to update the rules for arranging free parking spaces for vehicles driven by drivers with disabilities or transporting such persons.
In particular, parking lots must have at least 10% of spaces for people with disabilities, but not less than one.
In addition, drivers with disabilities or those who transport them will have to carry a QR-coded identification badge and documents confirming their right to the benefit, either in paper or electronic form. These changes will be introduced to the Law on Road Traffic.
The next step is to consider the draft law in the Verkhovna Rada.
