Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a section to the Planning and Building Law requiring every planning institution (except local committees) to achieve appropriate representation of women in its membership. Ministers whose representatives sit on planning institutions will be required to give preference to appointing women as members. The Minister of Interior will be responsible for implementing this obligation and may set provisions for its implementation with the consent of the Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women.
