Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposed amendment to the Firearms Law changes the conditions under which a social worker may notify the ministry director. Currently, a social worker may give notice only if a person has already received a firearm license. Under the new bill, the social worker will also be able to give notice in cases where a person has applied to hold a firearm but has not yet received a license, when there is concern for human life. The information will be passed to the licensing officer so they can decide on the application.
