Expansion of the Adequate Representation of Members of the Haredi Population in Public Authorities and Corporations (Legislative Amendments) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal expands the duty of adequate representation to members of both sexes, people with disabilities, members of the Arab (including Druze and Circassian) and Haredi communities and of Ethiopian origin, and new immigrants. The target will be set according to the share of each group of working age (from age 18 to retirement age) among citizens and residents, and will be updated from Central Bureau of Statistics data. Government companies, corporations established by law and local authorities above a certain population threshold will have to publish each year (by December 31, in Hebrew and Arabic) an annual plan to promote representation, including targets for each group, designated positions, funding and training methods, and documentation of the plan's implementation and the lessons learned.
