Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The law establishes that the director of the Fuel Administration may decide to postpone the date for performing a periodic inspection of a gas facility or for replacing a stationary tank or gas meter of a gas supplier license holder who requested this, for a period of up to four months, if convinced that there is a real difficulty in performing them on time, resulting from exceptional circumstances. The director may also order such postponement for all gas supplier license holders, if convinced that there is a real difficulty resulting from a special situation. A special situation is defined as one of the following: a special situation on the home front, which is the current situation since 7 October, a civil emergency event such as a natural disaster, or an emergency situation determined by law for the purpose of dealing with a dangerous infectious disease, such as the emergency situation declared during the coronavirus pandemic. The director may extend this period for limited periods, if the grounds for the original postponement continue to exist, or if the grounds do not exist but the director deems it necessary due to the exceptional circumstances or special situation for which the postponement was granted and the extension is required to complete the performance of the inspections or replacements. The director may order conditions for granting the original postponement or its extension, including determining that they will apply to all gas facilities supplied with gas by a gas supplier license holder or to some of them. The law establishes an additional possibility for granting a postponement, under exceptional circumstances as determined by the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure in regulations with the approval of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee, after considering considerations relating to the public interest and safety and being convinced that there is a real difficulty in performing these obligations on time. The law also adds a new administrative violation, in addition to the existing administrative violation regarding failure to perform inspections on time, relating to failure to comply with a condition or obligation established in the directives of the director of the Fuel Administration or in regulations under this amendment.
