Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הרשות הארצית לכבאות והצלה (נכים ונספים)

TL;DRA bill to apply to firefighters and fallen members of the National Fire and Rescue Authority rights equal to those of soldiers and state pensioners.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill provides that a disabled or fallen firefighter of the National Fire and Rescue Authority will be entitled to pensions and allowances under the State Service (Pensions) Law, similar to soldiers. The family of a firefighter who died will be entitled to compensation under the Families of Fallen Soldiers Law. The bill also applies to the authority's employees rights concerning psychological and mental health treatment, and adapts references in existing laws so that they will apply to firefighters and the authority's employees instead of to the police or soldiers.
