Granting Land Rights in a Minority Locality to Persons Unable to Complete Their Military Service and to IDF Widows (Legislative Amendments) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק להענקת זכויות במקרקעין ביישוב מיעוטים למי שנבצר ממנו להשלים את שירותו הצבאי ולאלמנות צה"ל (תיקוני חקיקה)

TL;DRA proposal to grant land rights in minority communities, exempt from a tender, to soldiers who were discharged before completing their military service because of a disability, and to IDF widows.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends two laws: the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law (5754) and the Families of Fallen Soldiers Law (5710), in order to grant land rights in minority communities to soldiers who were prevented from completing their military service due to a disability or injury caused in service, and also to widows of fallen soldiers. These rights will be granted with an exemption from the duty of a tender, under the required sections of the Mandatory Tenders Law (5752), and on the recommendation of the Ministry of Defense. In this way a uniform and non-discriminatory arrangement is applied among different types of those eligible for land allocation.
