Proposition de loi tendant à renforcer le rôle et les compétences des départements

This is a private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature. Its title indicates it aims to reinforce the role and competences of French departments, the regional-level local authorities (conseils départementaux) that handle areas such as social welfare, child protection, road networks and school transport. Based on the title alone, the bill concerns the division of powers between the state, departments and other local bodies. The bill would mainly affect departmental councils, their elected members and the residents who rely on departmental services. The exact changes to powers, funding or responsibilities cannot be determined from the metadata alone and would need to be checked in the full text of the bill.
