Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - שיקום בעלי חיים כעבודה מועדפת)

TL;DRA bill to add animal rehabilitation as preferred work eligible for a cash grant for discharged soldiers and those completing national service.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the National Insurance Law (5755) by adding work in a body dealing in the rehabilitation and care of animals to the list of preferred work sectors. Workers in this field will be entitled to a one-time cash grant like discharged soldiers and those completing national service in other sectors. The bill aims to solve a shortage of personnel in the field of animal rehabilitation, which has turned into an acute problem, and thus to encourage young people to work in this sector.
