Summary/Abstract: The Bill provides for the introduction of a rule, according to which separate assets of spouses of the highest rank persons performing public functions are subject to disclosure in statements relating to the financial status. These statements would be public and made available in the Public Information Bulletin. The aim of the bill is to increase the transparency of public life. In the opinion of the authors, the proposed subjective scope of the bill does not include all persons whose spouses, due to public interest, should submit a statement concerning their separate property. The established vacatio legis (14 days after the day of promulgation of the act) is too short. Therefore the bill may raise unintended legal consequences in terms of inconsistencies with certain provisions of the law currently in force.
