Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The temporary provision authorizing the Minister of Justice to approve the Fines Collection Center to collect fines on behalf of a local authority was extended by four years. In addition, the Minister of Justice was granted the authority to extend, by order and with the consent of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, the period of the temporary provision by an additional two years.

What was said in the plenum

The bill seeks to extend by an additional four years (and also allow a further two-year extension by order) the temporary provision that allows local authorities to voluntarily transfer collection of their fines to the Center for Collection of Fines, Fees and Expenses, this after the technological preparations for the transition were delayed and were only actually used starting in 2022. The actual discussion, which took the form of a lengthy opposition filibuster, included little substantive discussion of the body of the law itself and focused mostly on the broad controversy surrounding the judicial reform the government was advancing at the time.
