Laws by SMS in Israel
A new initiative conceived by MK Israel Hasson will soon allow every Israeli citizen to share his or her proposal for new legislation by cellular phone text messaging.A citizen who wants to advance an idea for a new law or propose an amendment to a particular law can send a brief summary of his idea over the phone.
The SMS must begin with the word “law”, followed by the written proposal. The project will automatically be presented on MK Hasson’s Web site. Every few weeks, Hasson will sift through the suggestions while consulting with legal advisors and his office colleagues. He will present those deemed suitable to the Knesset as law proposals.
