A bill drafted by MK Eli Hirshman would prohibit arrest proceedings for 90 days from the day the law is passed, according to the text posted to N12.
MK Eli Hirshman (Likud) has published the draft text of a proposed law that would freeze arrest proceedings for 90 days from the day it takes effect. The text, posted to N12's the source Sunday afternoon, states that from the day of legislation — ostensibly the day it passes its final Knesset readings — law enforcement will not be allowed to open arrest proceedings for 90 days. The bill's scope and rationale, as well as its prospects in the Knesset, remain unreported. No date for a preliminary reading has been set. The draft follows a period of heightened debate surrounding police powers and the government's judicial reform agenda.
