Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת התעבורה (מס' 136)

TL;DRAn amendment to the Traffic Ordinance regulating the installation of meters in public transportation in place of an existing emergency order.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal adds to the definitions in the Traffic Ordinance terms such as "control" and "interested party" according to existing laws, and anchors in the ordinance a new chapter (Chapter C) regulating the installation and maintenance of meters in taxis. The proposal provides that it will be prohibited to install a meter or provide maintenance services without a license issued by the Traffic Controller, both for installers and for operators. A licensed installer will be required to meet conditions including being a citizen or resident of Israel, having no convictions for serious offenses, submitting required information, operating a system for transferring data to the Controller, and employing a professional manager. The arrangement replaces an existing emergency order.
