following the disaster, the "versailles law" was passed by the parliament of israel. this law established a special committee responsible for treating the people injured in the disaster. moreover, an official investigation committee was established by the then prime minister ariel sharon under the leadership of the former judge vardimos zeiler , who was in charge of the security of public places and buildings. the zeiler committee on building safety investigated both the versailles wedding hall collapse as well as the maccabiah bridge collapse which occurred four years earlier in 1997, and released its final report in december 2003.
