What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Interpretation Law, 5741, by adding an expanded definition of the term "discrimination" in section 1A. The new definition includes, among other things, discrimination on grounds of gender identity, sexual orientation or religious belief. Thus, every law or regulation that refers to a prohibition of discrimination will automatically also refer to these types of discrimination.
