Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law was passed by the Knesset in second and third reading on 28 June 2017. In accordance with the provisions of Section 14O of the Traffic Ordinance, the Traffic Supervisor may grant licenses for taxi service lines and taxi service rides only for a limited period set in the Ordinance and extended from time to time. According to the aforementioned section as worded before the Amendment, this period was set to end on 30 June 2017. In order to enable service taxis to continue operating legally, the Law establishes that the period during which the Traffic Supervisor may grant licenses for taxi service lines and taxi service rides will be extended until 31 January 2018, so that existing licenses will remain valid until that date. In addition, the Law repeals Section 14O(c) of the Traffic Ordinance, which authorized the Minister of Transport and Road Safety, with the agreement of the Minister of Finance and with the approval of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee, to extend by order the validity of such licenses, provided that the total extension periods do not exceed three years. Since the Minister made use of his authority under that section, and the period has already been cumulatively extended by three years, this section is no longer necessary and may be repealed.
