Rapid Rehabilitation of Buildings Damaged in the Rising Lion War (Legislative Amendments) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Planning and Building Law (5725-1965) to allow a fast, alternative process for rehabilitating buildings that were destroyed or severely damaged as a result of combat activity. The bill defines a "destroyed building" as a residential building that had at least two floors with at least four housing units, and was destroyed or damaged in a way that does not allow living in it. It sets a procedure for approving rehabilitation plans, including provisions on expanding building rights for plots on which destroyed buildings stood, as well as the option of adding building areas on other plots. The plans will be subject to specific conditions and an engineer's opinion, and will be given fast approval.
