Execution Law (Amendment – Mobile Phones and Personal Computers) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק ההוצאה לפועל (תיקון - טלפונים ניידים ומחשבים אישיים)

TL;DRThe bill changes the Execution Law so that mobile phones and personal computers used by the debtor and their close relatives will not be seized.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds mobile phones and personal computers used by the debtor and family members living with them to the list of assets that cannot be seized in debt collection proceedings. Correspondingly, the Fifth Schedule to the law is also updated. The bill is justified by the fact that in recent years these tools have become essential for work, study and daily life, and taking them away significantly harms the debtor's ability to earn a living and that of their family.
