Prohibition of Receiving Consideration and Duty to Report Ties with a Foreign State Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill sets a ban on civil servants, elected public officials and those acting on their behalf receiving monetary payment or anything of value from any foreign state, directly or indirectly, including through a third party. Service providers contracting with state institutions will have a duty to make a detailed declaration of any business connection they had with a foreign state or a business intermediary in the last five years. Violating the ban on receiving payment - a prison sentence; submitting a false or partial declaration - a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine.
