Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Public Housing (Purchase Rights) Law of 1998 by changing a temporary provision in Section 20, thereby extending the law's validity by five more years. The proposal is intended to continue to allow tenants in public housing, who have lived in the apartment for a minimum period and meet additional conditions, to purchase their apartment at a subsidized price. The period of the previous provision ended on a date that was set in the past.
