Ministerial committee okays new draft of ‘Muezzin Bill’

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved a new draft of a bill that would limit the volume of broadcasts from houses of worship — the so-called Muezzin Bill.

The new proposal also limits the volume of such noises during the daytime hours as well as the very early morning, Ynet reports.

The bill will be brought before the Knesset for a preliminary hearing before being sent back to committee.
