Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It is proposed to expand the application of the arrangement established with respect to conflict zones, which allows for additional area for a restroom or bathroom for a residential protected space, including the provisions regarding payment of compensation, exemption from betterment levy, and expedited licensing procedures, to the entire country. Also, with respect to an existing building, it is proposed to establish that an addition to a residential protected space not exceeding 3 square meters beyond the area set under the Civil Defense Law, which is not intended for the construction of a restroom or bathroom, shall not be considered a deviation from the plan, and that the aforementioned provisions regarding payment of compensation, exemption from betterment levy, and expedited licensing procedures shall also apply to this area. In addition, with respect to a building whose construction has not yet begun, it is proposed to establish that the addition of the additional area not intended for a restroom or bathroom will only be permitted in apartments whose area exceeds 80 square meters before the addition of the additional area. These provisions shall apply only to plans deposited before the effective date of the Law. However, an exemption from betterment levy will be granted for the additional expanded area, insofar as this is determined in the plan. In addition, it is proposed to apply the provisions of the Regulations currently in force, which apply only to the addition of additional area for restrooms in protected residential spaces in conflict zones, also to the additional area for restrooms throughout the country and to the additional area not intended for a restroom. Finally, it is proposed to make permanent the provisions that allowed for the establishment of a residential protected space through an expedited licensing procedure, and to amend the definition of "small apartment" to define it as an apartment whose total construction area does not exceed 80 square meters.
