Jaarverslag en slotwet Provinciefonds 2017

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure concerning the annual report (jaarverslag) and closing law (slotwet) for the Provinciefonds, the national fund that the Dutch central government uses to finance the country's twelve provinces, for the 2017 budget year. A closing law confirms the actual spending of the fund against what was originally authorised, so Parliament can formally approve the final accounts. The procedure mainly affects the twelve Dutch provinces, which rely on the Provinciefonds for a large share of their general funding, and the national budget overseers in the Tweede Kamer. It concerns the accounting for a single past year rather than introducing new rules or spending.
