Regulation of Residence in Grazing Areas Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal aims to regulate the housing of herders and agricultural structures in grazing areas in regions where a need has been determined for a herder's presence close to the herd. The proposal sets conditions for erecting the structures: a herder must keep a herd of a minimum size, hold a long-term grazing permit, maintain income tax and VAT files, and vaccinate the animals. The Grazing Authority in the Ministry of Agriculture will approve applications after review by the local planning and building committee. For existing structures erected before the law's publication, a permit may be granted if certain conditions are met, including an undertaking to evacuate when the permit expires.
