Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The amendment to the Law permanently establishes Chapter A2 of the Execution Law, 1967, which had been set as a temporary provision that expired on 16 June 2020. The chapter regulates the establishment of a "maintenance track," under which the Execution Office will step into the shoes of the judgment creditor and act on their behalf to enforce maintenance judgments against the debtor. While National Insurance Institute files under the Maintenance (Guarantee of Payment) Law will always be opened under the maintenance track, a private judgment creditor may choose between the maintenance track and the regular track. The Execution Office may employ any of the procedures specified in the Law, in accordance with rules that will ensure a uniform, efficient and balanced policy that does not excessively harm the debtor, particularly regarding imprisonment, and priority will be given to handling the files of private judgment creditors over the Institute's files. This arrangement has proven effective for both the judgment creditor and the debtor, and it was therefore decided to establish it permanently. This Law resulted from a merger of the Execution Law Bill (Amendment No. 65), 2020, submitted by the Government, and the Execution Law Bill (Amendment – Execution via Maintenance Track), 2020, submitted by Knesset Members Moshe Arbel and Yinon Azulay.
