Official summary of the law (Knesset)

In view of the delay in implementing the arrangement concerning accessibility for a person with a disability who is assisted by a service animal, and in order to ease the situation for such a person, the amendment to the Law updates the dates of the temporary provisions and transitional provisions detailed below, which were set in the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law (Amendment No. 22), 2022: a. The provision exempting a person with a disability accompanied by a service animal from carrying a service animal certificate was extended until 1 July 2025 (instead of 1 November 2023). b. The provision entitling a person who already used a service animal to receive a certificate for it, subject to completion of a qualification test, will apply to a person who had a service animal on 31 December 2024 (instead of only to a person who had a service animal on 30 April 2023). c. The three years during which the training process will be recognized even if it was not performed by a training and instruction center, and the two years during which the Minister may recognize a training and instruction center even if it has only begun the process of recognition by the umbrella organization, will begin to be counted from 1 January 2025 (instead of from 1 May 2023).
