Priority in Line for Soldiers Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק קדימות בתור לחיילים

TL;DRA bill to grant priority in line at public services to IDF soldiers in regular and reserve service, and also to their spouses during a special situation on the home front.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill provides that public service providers must grant priority in line to combat soldiers in regular or reserve service, in accordance with army orders, and to announce this through a combat soldier certificate. It is also proposed to apply the priority in line to the spouses of these soldiers when a special situation on the home front has been declared, under the Civil Defense Law. The bill refers to easing the burden on soldiers who must deal with urgent errands far from home, due to the uncertainties that characterize their service.
