Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק התקנת מצלמות לשם הגנה על פעוטות במעונות יום לפעוטות (תיקון)

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Installation of Cameras in Daycare Centers for Toddlers Law with two main amendments: first, it adds local authority inspectors (responsible for the care of toddlers from birth to age six) to the list of parties who may use camera footage; second, it expands the powers to view the footage, so that supervisors and inspectors can view footage while exercising their powers in order to prevent harm to toddlers, and not only in the case of suspected harm as is set today. The amendment is meant to increase supervision and protection against the background of cases of abuse of toddlers.
