Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Family Court Law to exempt parents from paying a fee when submitting an application to extend their appointment as guardian of their child. Parents of children with special needs or disabilities are the natural guardians of their children until age 18, but today they are required to pay a court fee in order to extend the guardianship.
