What does the bill do?
The bill adds a new section to the Knesset Building Law stating that a planning institution will not be able to approve a plan that applies to the Knesset plaza except after approval by the House Committee on the proposal of the Knesset Speaker. In addition, the definition of the boundaries of the Knesset plaza on the map attached to the law is amended, including removing an area whose designation was changed due to the light rail project. The amendment aims to prevent changes to the plaza area without prior review by the Knesset administration.
