Abstract. The information reference examines the legal grounds for establishing administrative and criminal liability, in particular for chairpersons, deputy chairpersons, members, and secretaries of military medical commissions, as well as military officials, for violations of the law committed during the maintenance of military registration records of conscripts, the conscription of citizens for military service, and the conduct of medical examinations (military medical assessments) to determine citizens’ fitness for military service. The study was conducted in the context of the proposals provided for in the Draft Law of Ukraine No. 15144 dated 30 March 2026.
