National-Civilian Service Law (Amendment No. 8) Bill

What does the bill do?

The service is carried out in two main tracks: civic-social service in the fields of health, welfare, education, internal security and home front defense; and civic-security service in bodies such as the Israel Police, the Israel Prison Service and the National Fire and Rescue Authority. The law includes detailed provisions on how the service is carried out, its duration, its conditions and the obligations of the operating bodies, and authorizes the National-Civic Service Authority to manage and supervise the system. To continue allowing those whose military service was deferred to join national-civic service, the law's validity has been extended from time to time. Now, as part of Amendment No. 8 to the law, it is set that the temporary provision will be extended once more, so that the law will remain in force until March 31, 2026.
