Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Checks Without Cover Law of 1981 in two ways: first, it increases the number of bounced checks that cause a customer to be declared a "restricted account holder" from ten to sixteen checks. Second, it adds a section allowing an account restriction to be canceled provided that there are "special circumstances" in which its harm to the customer is not justified, at the court's discretion. The bill is in line with positions the courts held in the past.
