Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It has been determined that an employer may request from the police a notice indicating whether an adult candidate for employment has a criminal record for a serious terrorism offense, incitement to terrorism, or identification with a terrorist organization. A request to receive the notice is conditional upon the candidate's written consent, and the notice will be given only regarding offenses committed while the candidate was an adult and that have not yet expired by limitation, without detailing the offenses themselves. If a criminal record exists, the employer is required to allow the candidate to present information about the nature of the offense, his personal circumstances, and his rehabilitation before making a decision regarding his employment. It was further determined that the employer shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality regarding the information, and is prohibited from photographing it, copying it, transferring it to another person, or using it for any purpose other than examining the candidate's employment. At the same time, the police will keep records for seven years of the details of employers and candidates for whom the information was requested. To implement the law, the Ministers of Justice and National Security were authorized to enact regulations that will enable, among other things, the employer to request and receive the notice through an online government system.
