Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill sets that regulations granting judicial powers to someone who is not a judge, or conferring a judicial office in a civil court, must be approved by the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. In addition, regulations on rules of procedure in the courts require the approval of the same committee. The bill also applies to rules of procedure that were enacted but had not yet taken effect on the day this Basic Law is enacted: they will not be able to take effect without committee approval. The purpose is to ensure that the Knesset oversees significant changes in civil proceedings.
