Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Military Justice Law to add misdemeanor sex offenses (carrying a prison sentence of two years or more under Article E of Chapter 10 of the Penal Law) and offenses under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law to the list of offenses for which an indictment may be filed within one year of the end of military service. Currently, an indictment for these offenses may be filed only within 180 days. The amendment applies to people who have completed their military service and are prosecuted for sex offenses they committed during their service, and is intended to extend the time available to the military justice system to prosecute.
