Pre-Military Academies Law (Amendment – Dedicated Budget for Accessibility and Inclusion of Participants with Disabilities) Bill, 2026

What does the bill do?

The bill sets a dedicated budget mechanism allowing pre-military academies to receive a separate budget for accessibility and accommodation purposes for the inclusion of participants with disabilities. The dedicated budget will not exceed one million shekels per budget year, on condition that the academy appoints a person responsible for inclusion and commits in writing to making accommodations. Every academy requesting this budget will submit an inclusion and accessibility plan detailing the required accommodations and timelines. The Minister of Education will set provisions on the conditions for receiving the budget, including annual reports on inclusion and use of the budget, and may demand repayment or an offset if the budget was not used for its purpose.
