Official summary of the law (Knesset)

During the coronavirus period, restrictions were imposed on the economy in a manner that made it difficult for public authorities to renew regulatory approvals. Therefore, following a similar amendment made several months earlier, it was established across the board that the validity period of regulatory approvals that expired or were due to expire during the specified period would be extended. In addition, the Prime Minister may, by order, with the approval of the Government and the approval of a relevant Knesset committee, extend the period for additional periods not exceeding six months each, if other special circumstances justifying this exist. Regulatory approvals are granted by a public authority for the purpose of performing an activity or action by a person for a period exceeding one month, or for exemption from performing an action. For example, a business license, a residency visa, a fire safety permit, a medical cannabis use permit. The Law specifies various types of permits that were excluded from the automatic extension, as well as permits that will be extended for other periods and under other conditions. Alongside this, temporary business licensing permits received an automatic extension for a longer period than other approvals.
