What was said in the plenum
The bill seeks to temporarily establish, as a temporary provision until the end of 2011, the authority of local authorities to regulate and enforce matters of guarding, security and public order within their jurisdiction and to collect a levy or fee for them, after the Malinovsky High Court of Justice ruling struck down a similar municipal bylaw and the Ministry of Interior stopped approving the collection of such levies. The discussion addressed the question of whether local authorities should continue operating paid guarding patrols or whether this is a function the state should provide to citizens free of charge, and the arrangement reached is a temporary interim measure pending a full and finalized regulation.

Hebrew original
הצעת החוק מבקשת לעגן באופן זמני, כהוראת שעה עד סוף שנת 2011, את סמכותן של הרשויות המקומיות להסדיר ולאכוף עניינים של שמירה, אבטחה וסדר ציבורי בתחומן ולגבות היטל או אגרה בעדם, לאחר שבג״ץ מלינובסקי פסל חוק עזר דומה ומשרד הפנים הפסיק לאשר גביית היטלים כאלה. הדיון עסק בשאלה אם הרשויות המקומיות צריכות להמשיך ולהפעיל סיירות שמירה בתשלום או שזהו תפקיד שעל המדינה לספק לאזרחים ללא תשלום, וההסדר שהתקבל הוא ביניים זמני עד להסדרה מלאה ומגובשת.
Arguments for
- Residents of the local authorities where the security arrangement exists are satisfied with it, and the arrangement contributes to maintaining public order.David Azoulay (Shas)
- If the patrols are not operated by the local authorities, there will be no one to do so, and the authorities whose collection has been suspended should not be left in a desperate situation.David Azoulay (Shas)
Arguments against
- Maintaining public order is the police's classic role, and the state must provide this service to its citizens without charging for it.David Azoulay (Shas)
- The arrangement could create gaps between strong and weak local authorities, in a way that would affect residents' level of personal security.David Azoulay (Shas)
