Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק קבלת ילד של משרת מילואים למעון יום והשתתפות המדינה בעלות שכר הלימוד בו

TL;DRA bill to give children of reservists priority in admission to daycare centers, with increased state participation in tuition based on length of service.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill states that starting from the 5785 school year, children of a reservist will receive priority in admission to a daycare center according to a procedure to be set by the Ministry of Labor, taking into account the nature and length of the reserve service. Families in which one parent served at least 30 days in the reserves in the qualifying period (the year before submitting the application) will receive special priority. State participation in the cost of tuition will be set at different levels according to length of service (30-59 days, 60-89 days, 90-120 days, and more than 120 days). The provision states that an increase in the family's income due to reserve pay will not be taken into account in calculating the participation, and decreases in income or in hours of work/study will not reduce eligibility.
