What does the bill do?

The bill updates Section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance to add a definition of "public institution" that excludes educational institutions supported by public funding or tax benefits if they encourage, support or assist evasion of security service - including failure to report for a conscription order and legal assistance for refusing service.
