TL;DRA proposal to expand state assistance to families of road accident victims: extending the assistance period and increasing the amounts given.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Road Accident Victims (Assistance to Family Members) Law in three main ways: extending the period for receiving assistance from up to two years to a period that can be extended up to five years from the day of the accident; increasing the amounts given - the low assistance amount will be at least three times a certain amount, and part of the high amount will be increased to NIS 600,000; and changing the mechanism for updating the amounts according to changes in the Consumer Price Index every January. The proposal is intended to improve support for families who lost relatives in road accidents.
