Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het gemeentefonds voor het jaar 2011

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the adoption of the budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the municipal fund (gemeentefonds) for 2011. The municipal fund is the main general grant the national government pays to Dutch municipalities, which they can use for their own spending priorities. The statement sets out the amount of money available for that year. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch national government and the approximately 400 municipalities that receive funds from the municipal fund. Residents may feel effects indirectly through local public services. The metadata does not specify the exact amounts or allocation criteria.
