Administrative Violations Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal defines an administrative violation as a violation of a statutory provision or an offense that is not a felony, and states that the Minister of Justice will set in regulations which violations will be classified as administrative violations. The proposal establishes an administrative enforcement framework under various powers (inspectors and commissioners), allowing the imposition of measures such as: monetary charges (up to NIS 25,000, or NIS 730 for a municipal bylaw), administrative warnings, and administrative orders. The proposal sets a procedure of notice and response for the violator, a right of appeal against decisions, and special provisions for repeat or continuing violations (double the fine). This law applies to offenses set in the original enactment before the law's effective date, and to violations set in regulations after its effective date.
