Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds an exception to the 1968 Business Licensing Law, allowing the sale of wine in large stores (as defined in the Promotion of Competition in the Food Sector Law) even after 11:00 p.m. The exception is limited to wine only and does not apply to other alcoholic beverages. The bill is meant to make things easier for consumers doing large shopping at late hours for religious needs, for cooking or for use on holidays and Shabbat, while preserving the original purpose of the law of limiting alcohol drinking among young people at night.
