A total of 252 MPs voted for a respective decision at a parliament meeting on Tuesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

The law, in particular, provides for a change in the legal status of the State Bureau of Investigation. Thus, the SBI is defined as a state law enforcement agency tasked with preventing, detecting, stopping, solving and investigating crimes within its competence (under the current wording of the law on the State Bureau of Investigation, the SBI is a central executive government agency that carries out law enforcement activity to prevent, detect, stop, solve and investigate crimes within its competence).

"The SBI director is empowered to make decisions individually and to bear full responsibility for the results of the bureau's activity. The parliament's oversight function is strengthened. In particular, the Verkhovna Rada, following the consideration of a report by the SBI director for a calendar year, may find the work of the body unsatisfactory, which may serve as a ground for his or her dismissal from this position. In order to ensure the continuity of the investigation into Maidan cases, [the document] envisages the possibility of transferring investigative bodies of the prosecutor's office and prosecutors who investigated these cases to the SBI without the mandatory conduct of a competition," Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Law Enforcement Activity Denys Monastyrsky said from the parliament's rostrum, presenting the document.
