Israel Land Authority Law (Amendment No. 16) (Allocation of Land to a Local Authority for a Renewable Energy Electricity Generation Facility) Bill

What does the bill do?

Under the law, a registry will be established for waste operators, storage containers and transport vehicles, and waste removal, transport and treatment activities will require registration or an appropriate license. In addition, waste transporters will be required to use registered vehicles and storage containers, which will carry tracking and monitoring devices and be connected to an online system that will allow the waste's route to be tracked from the collection point to the treatment site. In the first stage, the provisions of the law will apply only to construction waste, and they may later be expanded through primary legislation. The law establishes mechanisms to ensure that waste is brought to regulated treatment sites. The law also provides that payments for the treatment of construction waste will be made only through a dedicated payment mechanism. In addition, the law establishes a special arrangement for small quantities of construction waste, so that residents can hand over a limited quantity of waste to the local authority or to a collection site the authority designates, and at the same time local authorities are required to establish and operate collection sites for small waste or to collect it directly from the authority's residents. In addition, the law strengthens enforcement tools: offenses and financial sanctions were set for violations, and the powers of local authority inspectors were expanded for certain offenses.
