Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill regulates the field of security services in Israel through a licensing requirement for security providers. The licensing system (in coordination with the police and the Minister of Defense) will be required to grant licenses, keep public registers of license holders, and require providers to properly manage employees, designate certified security managers and maintain insurance. The law sets qualification and experience requirements for security managers, and the authority may refuse to grant a license or revoke it due to deficiencies or a security risk.
