Municipalities Ordinance Amendment (Distributive Justice in All Budgeted Authorities in the State of Israel) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת העיריות (צדק חלוקתי בכל הרשויות המתוקצבות במדינת ישראל)

TL;DRA proposal to apply Section 9B of the Municipalities Ordinance to all state-budgeted local authorities, for distributive justice in revenues.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill aims to apply the provisions of Section 9B of the Municipalities Ordinance to all local authorities funded by the state budget, without distinguishing between authorities inside or outside the Green Line. As a result, the Minister of Interior will be able to declare by order that revenues from municipal property tax (arnona) or from payment obligations may be shared between neighboring or adjacent authorities located beyond the Green Line. The bill proposes this in order to address gaps in revenues between local authorities and in investment in services for their residents, while promoting distributive justice.
