Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal adds definitions and powers for the Consumer Protection Commissioner to designate a business as a "violator under aggravating circumstances" when the violation of the law harms a consumer with special characteristics, many consumers, or causes significant damage. The proposal requires payment service providers to stop transferring funds to the business and requires heads of enforcement offices to suspend proceedings against such a violator, and sets restrictions on cooperating with it for two years. The proposal allows an appeal against the commissioner's designation in court.
