Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law determines the extension, for an additional period of four years, of the temporary provision establishing a special planning track for preferred housing complexes, and also adds the possibility of extending the temporary provision for two additional periods of one year each. In addition, further changes are proposed that are required in order to address planning challenges that it was found appropriate to deal with within that same special planning track. Among the changes established in the Law: expanding the committee's powers regarding planning in evacuation-and-reconstruction complexes as part of urban renewal, advancing planning in localities of the Arab population, including the Druze and Circassian communities, as well as in housing complexes intended for the Haredi population, and expanding the committee's authority and empowering it to approve plans in transit-oriented development complexes near mass transit stations to be determined in a national infrastructure plan. It was also determined that there would be limits on the percentage of the allocated area that may be removed from agricultural settlements, in order to preserve their rural character and protect open spaces, and provisions were established regarding guiding the discretion in declaring preferred complexes so that considerations relating to environmental aspects would also be taken into account. In addition, a change was made to the composition of the committee so that it will now include representation of the head of a local authority that is a locality of the Arab population, including the Druze and Circassian communities, as well as an observer on behalf of the regional councils and on behalf of the Ministry of Welfare.
