Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Licensing of Services and Professions in the Vehicle Industry Law, 2016 (hereinafter – the Law) comprehensively regulates various areas in the vehicle industry, including vehicle importation, garages, and vehicle appraisal, and establishes updated arrangements intended to replace orders enacted under the Control of Commodities and Services Ordinance, 1957 (hereinafter – the control orders), which are emergency legislation that regulated these areas until the enactment of the Law. Certain matters are regulated by procedural instructions set under the control orders. Full implementation of the Law requires the enactment of a large number of Regulations, some of which require the approval of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee. In order to allow the Minister of Transportation and Road Safety to complete the enactment of all the required Regulations, the Law included a temporary provision stipulating that the control orders and the procedural instructions issued under them would remain in effect until those Regulations are enacted. This temporary provision expired, after extensions, on 31 December 2021. Since the enactment of the Regulations required under the Law, which are meant to replace the control orders, has not yet been completed, an amendment to the Law established that the validity of the control orders would be extended until 31 July 2022, i.e., by seven months, and that the Minister of Transportation and Road Safety would be able to extend that period by order, with the approval of the Economic Affairs Committee, for additional periods not exceeding a cumulative total of 6 months. In order to prevent the expiration of the control orders, the amendment will enter into force on 1 January 2022. It was further established that in April 2022 the Director General of the Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety would submit a report to the Economic Affairs Committee on the progress of the procedures for enacting the Regulations under the Law, including the Regulations replacing the control orders; however, due to the delay in completing the legislative process of the amendment, this report was not submitted on time.
