Norwegian Law (Israel)

The Norwegian Law (Hebrew: החוק הנורווגי), initially Mini-Norwegian Law (Hebrew: החוק הנורווגי הקטן) for its first version, is a name given to an amendment to Article 42c of the Basic Law: The Knesset. The law allows ministers or deputy ministers to resign from the Knesset, but remain a minister. The legislation became known as the "Norwegian Law", due to a similar provision in Article 62 of the Constitution of Norway, requiring a member of the Storting to resign their seat and be replaced by a deputy. This system of dualism, separating the cabinet and the legislature, also exists in Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Portugal, Estonia, and other countries.
