Civilian Recognition of Military Training Law (Amendment – Recognition of Command Experience as Managerial Experience) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הכרה אזרחית בהכשרות צבאיות (תיקון - הכרה בניסיון פיקודי כניסיון ניהולי)

TL;DRA proposal to recognize the command experience of IDF officers as managerial experience in tender procedures in public matters.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Civilian Recognition of Military Training Law of 2016. It sets that an officer who gained command experience during their service in the IDF will be recognized as someone who accumulated managerial experience. The amendment adds a new Section 3A and sets that the IDF will inform an officer serving as a combatant of the provisions of this section. The bill is based on the fact that combat officers accumulate significant experience in managing personnel, decision-making and analyzing situations, and it grants recognition of this experience as relevant to tenders in the public and semi-public sector.
