What does the bill do?
The proposal establishes a new authority called the "Authority for the Development of the Social Periphery" as an audited corporation under the Ministry of Interior. The authority will work on initiatives for economic, social and scientific-technological development in communities and areas that do not rank high on the socioeconomic index in the Negev, the Galilee and the periphery. It will be governed through a council made up of representatives of the Ministry of Interior, heads and deputy heads of local authorities, and public representatives, headed by a director to be appointed with the consent of the council and the minister. The authority will receive a budget from the government and will be able to raise additional revenues, and all its revenues will be used only to fulfill its functions.
