The Norwegian Law or Mini-Norwegian Law is a law in Israel affecting the appointment of ministers and members of the Knesset. The law allows ministers or deputy ministers to resign from the Knesset but remain a minister, with their Knesset seat taken by the next person on the party's list. If the person who resigned leaves the cabinet, they are able to return to the Knesset in place of their replacement. The law limits each party to one resignation and replacement.
The law was approved by the Knesset by a vote of 64–51 on 30 July 2015.
