About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Firearms Ordinance, 1949, stipulates that a social worker treating a person who becomes aware that that person possesses a firearm, and who believes this poses a danger to that person or to the public, shall report this to the Director of the Ministry of Labor and Welfare, who may transmit the information, among others, to the licensing official and to the Israel Defense Forces. Under Amendment No. 26, this provision was expanded so that the social worker may also report cases in which they become aware that the person they are treating has submitted an application for a firearm license, as well as cases in which they become aware that a family member of the patient, past or present, possesses a firearm or has submitted an application for a firearm license, provided that, in their opinion, there is a danger to that person, their family member, or the public. In addition, the procedure for transferring information between the Ministry of Welfare and Social Security, to which such reports are to be transmitted, and the Firearms Licensing Division, as well as between the Ministry and security bodies that supply firearms to those serving with them, was regulated.

Hebrew original

חוק כלי הירייה, התש"ט–1949 קובע כי עובד סוציאלי המטפל באדם ונודע לו כי אותו אדם מחזיק בכלי ירייה, ולדעתו יש בכך משום סכנה לאותו אדם או לציבור, יודיע על כך למנהל משרד העבודה והרווחה, שיהיה רשאי להעביר את הידיעה, בין היתר, לפקיד הרישוי ולצבא הגנה לישראל. במסגרת תיקון מס' 26, הורחבה הוראה זו, כך שהעובד הסוציאלי יוכל לדווח גם במקרים שבהם נודע לו כי האדם בו הוא מטפל הגיש בקשה לרישיון לכלי ירייה, וכן כאשר נודע לו כי בן משפחתו של המטופל, בעבר או בהווה, מחזיק בכלי ירייה או הגיש בקשה לרישיון לכלי ירייה, ובלבד שיש לדעתו סכנה לאותו אדם, לבן משפחתו או לציבור. בנוסף, הוסדר הליך העברת המידע בין משרד הרווחה והביטחון החברתי, שאליו יועבר הדיווח כאמור, לבין אגף רישוי כלי הירייה, וכן בין המשרד לבין גופים ביטחוניים המספקים כלי ירייה למשרתים בהם.
