Center for the Collection of Fines, Fees and Expenses Law (Amendment No. 29) (Installment Payment for a Debt Whose Payment Date Has Not Yet Passed) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal gives payers whose charge's payment date has not yet passed (up to 50,000 shekels, excluding monetary sanctions) the option to spread the amount into monthly installments automatically through the government website. The payer will choose a minimum monthly amount and set a fixed day each month for payment, and if they make the payments on time no interest or linkage will be added. Certain populations (such as prisoners and the elderly) will be able to submit a written request instead of through the website. The proposal also adds a power for the director of the Center for the Collection of Fines to set rules for reducing late-payment surcharges on debts whose payment date has passed.
