What does the bill do?
The bill establishes a national authority for fighting poverty in the Ministry of the Negev, the Galilee and National Resilience. The authority will formulate a multi-year plan (three years or more) and annual plans for reducing poverty, run a national center for data and research in the field, promote economic education in schools and education institutions, and coordinate actions between government ministries and local authorities. A 15-member council (representatives of ministries, the National Insurance Institute, the Employment Service and public representatives) will run the authority, oversee the implementation of the plans and approve the annual budget. The authority will report to the minister and to the Knesset's Labor and Welfare Committee on the implementation of the plans.
