Regulation of Residence in Grazing Areas Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק להסדרת המגורים בשטחי מרעה

TL;DRA bill to regulate shepherds' housing and agricultural structures in grazing areas near the herds, under certain conditions.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal aims to regulate the construction of residential structures and agricultural structures in grazing areas in zones defined as 'close-guarding zones', as determined by the Minister of Internal Security. The proposal permits a shepherd holding a valid grazing permit, who owns a herd of a fixed size, to build housing for their nuclear family and agricultural structures in the grazing area, subject to the approval of the local planning and building committee and meeting conditions such as keeping tax files, vaccinating and tagging animals, and signing a commitment to evacuation and restoration. The proposal also sets transitional provisions regulating existing structures built before the law.
