Principles of Regulation Law (Amendment) (Periodic Review of Regulation and Non-Imposition of Liability for Non-Publication of Regulation) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק עקרונות האסדרה (תיקון) (בחינה תקופתית של אסדרה ואי הטלת אחריות בשל אי פרסום אסדרה)

TL;DRThe bill removes the exclusion of bills from the obligation of periodic review of regulation, and sets protection from liability for not publishing regulation under certain conditions.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the Regulation Principles Law in three ways: first, it deletes the exemption of bills from the obligation to set a periodic review of regulation. Second, it grants a regulator protection from lawsuits and from criminal and administrative liability for not publishing regulation that does not require official publication, provided that a year has passed since the date set for publication, the authority contacted the regulator with a reasoned notice, and the regulator did not announce within 90 days that the regulation does not require publication. Third, it requires the authority to publish a list of regulation that cannot be updated under the new rules.
