Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill seeks to make the ban on the purchase of prostitution permanent law, after it had been a temporary provision. The offense will be treated as an administrative one of a lower degree, with a fine of 2,000 shekels for a first offense and a double fine for a repeat offense. In addition, it is proposed to allow government ministries (Justice, Welfare) to set alternative measures to the fine, such as education and information. The bill includes an annual report to the Knesset on the law's implementation and research to assess its impact.
