Prevention of Family Violence (Technological Monitoring to Ensure Compliance with a Protection Order, and Risk Assessment – Temporary Provision) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק למניעת אלימות במשפחה (פיקוח טכנולוגי להבטחת קיומו של צו הגנה, והערכת מסוכנות - הוראת שעה)

TL;DRA proposal to add technological monitoring as a condition in protection orders in cases of domestic violence, for a period of three years.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal allows a court to order the use of technological monitoring means (devices that track location) as part of a protection order in cases of domestic violence, under strict conditions. The monitoring will be activated only if there is a real concern of a breach of the order or a high danger, provided that there is no less restrictive way to achieve the goal. The proposal establishes a technological monitoring unit in the Ministry of Interior that will manage the system, employ technicians and dispatchers, and be able to cooperate with private companies. Regarding minors, the consent of their parents or guardian is required, but a court can order monitoring even without consent in special circumstances.
