Zelenskyy signs bill to streamline business activities during war into law

The document states that businesses will be able to commence and conduct certain types of economic activities during martial law by submitting a declaration to the relevant licensing authorities, permitting bodies, and Centers for Administrative Services without obtaining permits or licenses required by law.

These declarations will be valid for the duration of martial law and until the end of the calendar year in which martial law is terminated or canceled, but for no less than three months after its termination or cancellation.

Existing licenses will remain valid until the end of martial law, but for no less than three months after its termination or cancellation.

Additionally, during martial law, scheduled inspections by licensing authorities to ensure compliance with licensing regulations will be suspended.

The Verkhovna Rada also passed bill No. 7331 on July 17, which simplifies business operations and the establishment of new businesses during martial law.
