The Knesset has changed, the reform continues: Rothman submitted more than 85 bills

MK Simcha Rothman submitted more than 85 bills immediately after the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset, over 20 of them in the field of law and law enforcement, including splitting the role of the Attorney General and limiting the powers of the High Court of Justice.

MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), chairman of the Constitution Committee in the outgoing Knesset, submitted more than 85 bills immediately after the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset, over 20 of them in the field of law and law enforcement. The proposals are part of the "Law and Justice" program he advanced in recent Knessets. Among the key initiatives: splitting the role of the Attorney General, limiting judicial review of Knesset laws, changing the method of appointing legal advisors in government ministries, and restoring MK immunity. Three central bills already passed a first reading in the 25th Knesset: Basic Law: Investigation and Prosecution Authority, Basic Law: The Judiciary, and the Attorney General and State Prosecutor Law. The proposal to split the Attorney General's role is signed by 16 additional MKs. Other proposals include limiting the powers of the High Court of Justice, extending the cooling-off period for judges, and abolishing the offense of breach of trust. The article notes that resubmitting the proposals does not guarantee their continued advancement.
