Jaarverslag en slotwet Staten Generaal 2019

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the 2019 annual report and closing budget act (Jaarverslag en slotwet) of the States General, the Dutch national parliament. Such a closing act compares the actual state spending and revenue for the year with the budget that was approved in advance, and asks the House to formally accept the final accounts. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government and parliament, as it establishes whether spending in 2019 stayed within the authorised budget. Citizens are affected indirectly, since it reflects how public money was used and whether any overspending needs to be accounted for.
