Summary

The bill changes the regulation of the delivery of documents to military personnel so that the receipt of data becomes digital instead of paper. According to the bill, the state portal eesti.ee will be the primary channel of communication between the state and those who are obliged to serve in the defense forces in matters concerning the duty of national defense. The explanation highlights that currently, in 90 percent of cases, documents are sent on paper by post or handed over against a signature. Practice shows that many documents remain undelivered due to the changed place of residence and outdated address data of the conscript, or because of the reluctance of the conscript to accept the documents and the accompanying obligations. For example, the invitations sent to study gatherings in 2017 did not reach the recipients in 21.8 percent of the cases and in 28 percent of the cases in 2018. Sent to the military service member via the state portal esti.ee the document is considered delivered after 30 calendar days have passed since the document was made available. At the justified request of the person liable to the defense forces or at the other discretion of the drafter of the document, documents containing the duty of national defense may be delivered through another channel or in another way, for example by post
