Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The amendment authorizes the Council of the Second Authority for Television and Radio (hereinafter - the Council) to extend, without a tender, the validity of regional radio broadcasting licenses, for a fourth period. The validity of a radio broadcasting license is 4 years, and under the Law as worded prior to the amendment, the Council was authorized to extend, without a tender, the validity of licenses for three additional periods, taking into account, among other things, the considerations specified in the Law, including the possibility of allocating frequencies and economic considerations, provided it found that the license holder fulfilled its obligations under the Law and the terms of the license. Under the amendment, the Council will be permitted to extend the validity of licenses for one additional period of four years, but only for license holders who, prior to the publication of the amendment, were in the third extension period of their license. The Council's decision on a fourth extension will be made taking into account, among other things, economic aspects, in addition to the considerations specified in the Law as stated. The amendment further establishes that all Council decisions to extend, without a tender, the validity of regional radio broadcasting licenses will be reasoned and in writing, and will be published to the public on the website of the Second Authority for Television and Radio.
