Official summary of the law (Knesset)

This amendment deals with the conditions for granting a license to operate a control institute, with the appointment of a person responsible for the control institutes and their powers, with their operation, and with the need for building permits. It is established as a temporary provision that for two years control institutes may operate for the purpose of examining permit applications concerning the construction of new residential buildings whose height does not exceed 29 meters only. The control institutes may operate as stated during the period of the temporary provision even if not all the licensed controllers they are required to employ under the Law are serving with them. It is further established that during the period of the temporary provision, engagement with the control institutes will be voluntary and subject to the choice of the permit applicant, and that there will be a preparation period of about one year, during which various benefits and grants will be given for the establishment of control institutes that begin operating during this period, and to permit applicants who choose to approach the control institutes. The Minister of Finance will be authorized to shorten the preparation period if it emerges that the control institutes are operating well and there is no longer a need to provide the grants and benefits as stated. The operation of control institutes for the purpose of granting permits not concerning the construction of new residential buildings as stated will be postponed to 1 January 2020, and the Minister of Finance, with the approval of the Knesset Interior and Environmental Protection Committee, may postpone the start of operation by an additional two years. An additional amendment within the Bill concerns regional committees, and seeks to establish that in a regional committee comprising only two local authorities, one of which is significantly larger than the other, the head of the larger authority will be the chairperson of the regional committee.
