Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Youth Law (Adjudication, Punishment and Modes of Treatment) (Amendment No. 20), 2015, establishes that the court has the authority to impose on the parents of a convicted minor, in addition to the sentence imposed on the minor, a fine, legal costs, or an undertaking regarding the minor's conduct, all if it finds that circumstances exist justifying doing so, up to an amount of 10,000 new shekels. It is established that the minor's parent will have a proper opportunity to present their arguments before the court decides on the matter. The Law clarifies that the imposition of such obligations on the parents will not constitute the imposition of criminal liability on them. Prior to this amendment to the Law, the court had the authority to impose the aforementioned obligations on the minor's parents only within the framework of modes of treatment set for a minor who was proven to have committed the offense but was not convicted.
