Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Military Justice Law so that sex offenses of defined types (under the penal laws, sexual harassment, and privacy protection, in a sexual context) will be within military jurisdiction even after a soldier ceases to be a soldier, within up to one year from the end of service. The proposal implements the recommendations of the State Comptroller's report on sexual offenses in military service and in security bodies, to allow disciplinary and criminal proceedings to be exhausted within a set period and to avoid the need to restart proceedings.
