Victims of Hostile Action (Pensions) Law (Amendment – Burial in a Plot of the Family's Choice) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a provision to the Benefits for Victims of Hostile Acts Law allowing a person registered in the Population Registry as having no religion, who was killed in a hostile act and asked to be buried in a Jewish burial plot, to be buried in a separate plot within the same burial section. The bill applies to citizens who are not registered as Jews under the law but are relatives of Jews, and who asked to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. The amendment cancels the requirement to bury them in a separate plot designated solely for those with no religion.
