The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved Sunday a bill proposal by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked imposing fines on customers of prostitutes.
According to the bill proposal, the initial fine will stand at NIS 1,500, while the fine for a repeat offense within a three-year period will stand at NIS 3,000.
Those who receive the fine could either pay it, request to have it canceled or request trial.
However, if convicted, the defendant would have to pay a fine of up to NIS 75,300.
