Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Checks Without Cover Law (1981) in two respects: first, it raises the threshold number of bounced checks required for a bank account to be restricted, from ten checks to sixteen. Second, an addition to Section 10 of the law allows the claimant to ask a court to cancel the account restriction if there are special circumstances that justify it, when the harm to the customer is disproportionate to the circumstances. The bill concerns bank customers whose checks were bounced.
