Interpretation Law (Amendment – Definition of Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הפרשנות (תיקון - הגדרת הפליה על רקע נטייה מינית או זהות מגדרית)
TL;DRA bill to amend the Interpretation Law so that the definition of discrimination also includes discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a definition to the 1981 Interpretation Law providing that every prohibition of discrimination in law will include a prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity, unless otherwise provided by law. Thus this protection will apply to all legislation imposing a prohibition of discrimination, without the need to amend each law separately. This bill is supposed to extend legal protections that already exist in various specific laws to additional areas as well.
