What does the bill do?

The proposal adds a section to the Military Cemeteries Law extending the provisions of the law to apply retroactively to firefighters who were killed during their service and as a result of performing their duties, starting from the date the National Fire and Rescue Authority was established. In addition, the proposal amends the Yad LaBanim Houses Law so that it addresses the fallen of the rescue services similarly to the fallen of the security forces.
