Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Under the Law, it is determined that the Law for the Streamlining of Municipal Enforcement and Supervision in Local Authorities (Temporary Provision), 2011, will become a permanent provision, alongside the establishment of several arrangements. First, the manner of establishment and operation of local enforcement systems was regulated in accordance with standards and criteria, with their weighting to be determined in Regulations by the Minister of National Security, alongside an exception for the establishment of such systems in areas of national priority or focus. Second, an arrangement was established regarding the force structure of the local policing system, relating to the total number of officers and inspectors and the ratio between them, including the possibility for a local authority to be assisted by a volunteer who assists the patrol units of the Israel Police. Third, the funding of local enforcement systems by the Ministry of National Security was regulated in accordance with the established standards, alongside an exception for this matter in the case of an authority recognized as an area of national priority or focus by law or by government decision. Fourth, the manner of holding weapons by a local enforcement system was regulated in accordance with a special license under the Firearms Law. Beyond this, the cases in which a local policing inspector may exercise his powers were established, limited to specific cases of preventing violence, theft, severe property damage, and a life-endangering act by vehicle, committed in the public space. This is to be done in a place and manner that ensure the protection of human rights. In addition, local policing inspectors were given powers to combat the phenomenon of public intoxication, as a temporary provision for two years, in specific areas within the local authority listed in the appendix, including bathing beaches, public parks, and promenades. Furthermore, the establishment of a unit within the Ministry of National Security was anchored, which will coordinate the operation and establishment of the systems as stated, and will also handle complaints filed regarding the unlawful exercise of authority by local policing inspectors. An annual reporting duty was also established for the Minister of National Security to the Knesset National Security Committee on a number of matters, including: local authorities that requested to establish and operate a local enforcement system and in which a system has not yet been established, and the reasons for this; exceptional incidents in the exercise of powers by local policing inspectors and their handling; and a detailing of the authorities that received assistance in funding local enforcement systems and its scope.
