Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הרשויות המקומיות (פטור חיילים, נפגעי מלחמה ושוטרים מארנונה) (תיקון - הנחה בארנונה למשרת בשירות מילואים פעיל) (הוראת שעה)

TL;DRA bill for a 90% arnona discount for active reservists during a special emergency situation on the home front, in the period set under the Civil Defense Law.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a section to the Local Authorities Law granting an exemption from 90% of arnona payments to reservists who served in active reserve service during the period of the special emergency situation on the home front (from Tishrei 5784 until the end of the declaration of this situation under the Civil Defense Law). The bill will be set as a temporary provision. The reasoning states that reservists were absent from their homes and businesses while bearing a security burden, which made it difficult for them to meet financial obligations.
