Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a section to the Municipalities Ordinance in order to apply the provisions of Section 9B to all local authorities budgeted by the state, without distinction between authorities inside the Green Line and authorities outside it. The explanatory notes state that many local authorities suffer from "deficit arnona" - revenue from residential arnona (municipal property tax) that is not enough to cover the costs of services. The proposal aims to allow the Minister of Interior to declare by order a division of revenues from arnona or from payment obligations between authorities, including nearby or adjacent authorities located beyond the Green Line, in order to achieve distributive justice among disadvantaged populations.
