Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill concerns the duty to hold tenders and proposes adding a new section encouraging the rescue of surplus food. When a tender is issued and two or more bids receive an identical highest weighted score, the bid of a business that donates surplus food (in a volume of at least half a ton per month or a ton per year) will be chosen, provided that this bid is accompanied by an accountant's certification and an affidavit from a food distribution organization. The argument for the bill points to nutritional crises among the public and significant food waste in Israel.
