What does the bill do?
The bill adds a section to the Festival of Matzot (Prohibition of Chametz) Law allowing hospitals to decide to prohibit bringing chametz products onto all or part of their premises during the holiday. At the same time, the Minister of Religious Services (with the consent of the Ministers of Health and Justice) sets provisions allowing hospitalized patients who wish to do so to continue consuming food that is not kosher for Passover, in a way that preserves their dignity.
