חוק תקשורת דיגיטלית עם גופים ציבוריים (תיקון מס' 4), התשפ"ה-2025Digital Communication with Public Bodies Law (Amendment No. 4), 2025 · automatic translation · suggest a correction

What was said in the plenum

The bill regulates the provision of services by public bodies and local government authorities digitally, instead of through physical visits to offices, with the aim of reducing bureaucracy and saving time and manpower. The plenum discussion included a brief reference by the bill's sponsors to its practical content, but most of the discussion dealt with other issues related to the state budget and the Arrangements Law discussed in the same session, rather than with the content of the Digital Communication Law itself.
